COLCHESTER United have been drawn away at Swansea in the third round of the FA Cup.

The Essex side, who have beaten League Two side Bradford City and non-league outfit Swindon Supermarine at home in the competition so far, will travel to the Championship club on the weekend of January 8/9.

The U’s crashed out at the third round stage of the competition last season courtesy of a 7-0 defeat at Championship side Preston North End.
