Colchester United have an early opportunity to ram some choice words down Bristol City striker Lee Peacock's throat when the two clubs go head-to-head at Ashton Gate tonight.

Peacock, currently topping the Robins' scorers list with 14 for the season, has said that he believes he and his team-mates can remain unbeaten for the rest of the season as long as they maintain their strong work ethic.

And he also claimed: "I don't believe there is anyone who can beat us at home in our League, with the way that we play."

He added: "Last year we went 19 games unbeaten, but by the end of that run we were drawing too many games and we lost that work ethic."
