SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has selected an unchanged starting line-up for this afternoon’s clash at Northampton Town.

As a result, the Shrimpers will stick with the 3-4-3 formation which worked well in last weekend’s 3-1 win against Millwall.

Centre-back Adam Barrett will make his 350th appearance for the club at centre-back while the fit-again Anthony Wordsworth and Anton Ferdinand have both been named on the bench.

As a result, Jack Bridge and Harry Kyprianou have dropped out of the squad.

Southend United: Oxley, White, Barrett, Thompson, Demetriou, Leonard, Atkinson, Coker, McGlashan, Mooney, McLaughlin

Subs: Wordsworth, O'Neill, Cox, King, Smith, Inniss & Ferdinand
