We said: Colchester United 2-2 Arsenal Under-21s (Colchester win on penalties)

 Tuesday's tie has all the makings of a goal-laden thriller, as Arsenal's defending has been nothing short of woeful over the past few weeks, but Colchester are set to be working with limited options at the back. It may take the dreaded 12-yard shootout to settle these two teams, and Colchester's more experienced heads will likely prevail if that is the case, although both sides should be celebrating progression to the knockout rounds come full time.
