Colchester v Preston tie rescheduled for Sky coverage

Colchester United's final match of the season against Preston on Sunday 3rd May has been moved to a 12.15pm kick-off for coverage on Sky Sports.
 
The U's will be battling to escape relegation tomrorow night against Swindon, and a valuable three points could mean the match against Preston will be highly important in their escape.

Preston are still in search of promotion to the Championship, and know that victory over the U's could mean they secure an automatic promotion spot. However, they know they have to match or better MK Dons' result to ensure promotion.


It will be the fourth time that the U's have appeared on TV this season - with FA Cup matches against Gosport Borough, Peterborough and Cardiff all being televised.

All of this weekend's League One matches are being played on Sunday (all 12.15pm kick-offs).

Colchester continue their relegation battle on Tuesday evening when they host Swindon Town on Tuesday evening (7.45pm KO), before they face promotion-searching Preston North End on Sunday (12.15pm).
