Colchester United's youngsters will be aiming to write another new chapter of FA Youth Cup giant-killing history tonight.

Joe Dunne's Layer Road whizz-kids are all fired up for some red-blooded third round action against Aston Villa at Villa Park.

And the young U's are in the right mood to wipe out the bad memories of a 4-0 fourth round defeat on the same ground, 11 years ago.

"This is another day and another game," said proud boss Dunne.

"I believe some of my players are born for big occasions such as this."
