After Saturday's draw against Leicester, in which Paddy McCarthy scored an injury time equaliser, Pardew praised his side's efforts and should stick with the same eleven for the clash with the bottom side in the Championship.
The only doubt is Jonathan Fortune who picked up a knee injury at the weekend, but he should be fit.
Darren Ambrose is back from injury but should be on the bench.
Possible side for Colchester: Weaver, Bougherra, Fortune, McCarthy, Powell, Varney, Holland(C), Zheng, Semedo, Thomas, Iwelumo
Subs: Moutaouakil, Randolph, McLeod, Ambrose, Sam
