Port Vale manager Micky Adams has made four changes to his side for tonight's visit of Colchester United.

Gavin Tomlin and Billy Knott both drop to the bench, with Jordan Hugill and Daniel Jones coming into the starting lineup.

Adam Yates, Jack Grimmer, Joe Davis and Carl Dickinson start at the back for Vale, as they look to improve on a record that has seen them concede nine goals in the last three games.

Meanwhile, Clinton Morrison and Sanchez Watt lead the line for a Colchester side that hasn't played a league game in almost a month due to postponements.

Port Vale: Neal, Yates, Davis, Grimmer, Dickinson, Loft, Griffith, Lines, Jones, Pope, Hugill
Subs: Knott, Dodds, Birchall, Myrie-Williams, Tomlin, Williamson

Colchester United: Walker, Wilson, Okuonghae, Eastman, Dickson, Bean, David Wright, Eastmond, Vose, Watt, Morrison
Subs: Cousins, Sears, Ibehre, Massey, Gilbey, Olufemi, Sesay
