History of the Plymouth Argyle v Colchester United fixture

Plymouth Arg. prepare to entertain Colchester United at Home Park on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve on a record of draws against their opponents.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Home Park was just last season, in April 2003, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Two match.
