SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has selected an unchanged starting line-up for today’s clash at Bramall Lane.

As a result, Adam Thompson and Adam Barrett both keep their place at the heart of the back four while Kevan Hurst will start on the right flank against his former side.

Further forward, Jack Payne will line up just behind David Mooney as Joe Pigott remains on the bench alongside the fit again Cian Bolger and Myles Weston.

Michael Timlin, who missed the 1-0 win against Bristol Rovers on Wednesday through suspension, has also been selected among the substitutes.

Southend United: Bentley, White, Thompson, Barrett, Coker, Hurst, Atkinson, Leonard, Worrall, Payne, Mooney

Substitutes: Prosser, Timlin, Weston, Bolger, P Smith, Pigott & O’Neill
