Colchester United head to MK Dons on Saturday as second hosts third in the Sky Bet League Two table.
The match against the Dons kicks off a hectic Christmas period, with a number of games between now and the new year, that will go some way to shaping up the league table ahead of the second half of the campaign.
After the match against the Dons, the U's will take on Stevenage and Morecambe at home and then will take on Crawley on New Year's Day.
Notts County are our first visitors of 2019, whilst there is also a trip to Port Vale in early January.
