Loanees Rhys Healey and Cole Kpekawa will both feature for Colchester United's under-21s as they look to finish the year on a high when they host neighbours Ipswich Town tonight (kick-off 7pm).

The U's youngsters play their final game of 2014 in Professional Development League Two at the Weston Homes Community Stadium, where John McGreal's side will be aiming to claim their first league victory since October.

Healey, on loan from Cardiff City and QPR loanee Kpekawa, who were both unused substitutes in the 1-0 win at Yeovil Town last Saturday, will both figure for Colchester against their East Anglian neighbours.

In addition, the likes of Sammie Szmodics and Macauley Bonne will feature for the U's.

And Dion Sembie-Ferris, Kane Vincent-Young and Tom Lapslie, who all travelled with Colchester's first team to Huish Park last weekend, are also expected to play.
