Colchester United have received a boost ahead of their big FA Cup first-round tie at Chelmsford City this weekend after their three loanees were given permission to play against the Clarets.

Arsenal duo Sanchez Watt and Craig Eastmond, along with leading scorer Jabo Ibehre who is on loan from MK Dons, are all eligible to play for the U's in the much-anticipated tie at Melbourne Park.

The U's have sold all of their allocation of just over 1,000 tickets for the tie, against their Blue Square Bet South opponents.

Can't wait for the game, by the sounds of it i'm lucky to have got tickets. Sold out already.

Wonder if Arsenal would have given the green light if they hadn't have come back against Reading. lol

It's also interesting that MK Dons have allowed Ibehre to play. Shows that hes not in their plans for the season surely?
