SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has made four changes to his starting line-up for this afternoon’s clash with Burton Albion at Roots Hall.

Ben Coker has returned to the side at left-back for the first time since September after recovering from an elbow injury and he replaces Jerome Binnom-Williams who begins a three match suspension after being sent off at Wycombe Wanderers.

On the opposite side of the defence, John White has returned to the back four after recovering from an illness and his inclusion means Ryan Leonard has moved back in to the midfield.

He is joined in the centre of the park by Will Atkinson with both Michael Timlin and John-Joe O’Toole dropping down on to the bench.

The final change comes on the left flank where Kevan Hurst comes back in at the expense of Myles Weston who has also been selected among the substitutes.

Southend United: Bentley, White, Bolger, Prosser, Coker, Worrall, Leonard, Atkinson, Hurst, Payne, Corr

Substitutes: O’Toole, P Smith, Thompson, Timlin, Weston, Coulthirst & Deegan
