Kevin Keen says Colchester United's forthcoming FA Cup tie against Premier League opposition is a big reward for the club - regardless of who they play.

The U's will find out their fourth-round opponents tonight, with the winners of the third-round replay between Leicester City and Spurs at the King Power Stadium travelling to the Weston Homes Community Stadium, on January 30.

The fourth-round tie will be screened live on BT Sport and boss Keen says it is something to look forward to, no matter who they play.

Keen said: “I don’t really have any preference as to who we play.

“You’re looking at two really exciting, entertaining, young, hungry Premier League sides.

“Leicester are flying at the moment and had a fantastic result at Tottenham on Wednesday night.

“Tottenham, though, are the more glamorous, southern, London team.

“Whoever we play, I really don’t mind.

“To get a home tie against high-flying Premier League opposition, whoever we play, is a big reward.

“I’m very pleased for everyone who’s worked hard here, especially the owner.

“It’ll be a good day for the community, the town and all the supporters."
