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

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.
