SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has selected an unchanged starting line-up for this afternoon’s clash with Coventry City at Roots Hall.

Centre-back Adam Thompson has shaken off a slight groin problem to line up in the back four while new loan signings Sam McQueen and Glen Kamara have both been named among the substitutes.

However, there is again no place in the 18 for Luke Prosser while David Worrall and Kevan Hurst have also failed to make the squad.

Southend United: Bentley, O’Neill, Bolger, Barrett, Thompson, Hendrie, Deegan, Atkinson, Leonard, Payne, Barnett

Subs: White, Timlin, Mooney, T.Smith, Hunt, McQueen & Kamara
