SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has made enforced change to his starting line-up for this afternoon’s clash at Scunthorpe with Jakub Sokolik returning in defence.

Sokolik has replaced the injured Anton Ferdinand but the rest of the team remains unchanged as Harry Kyprianou continues at left wing-back.

As a result Ben Coker has been selected among the substitutes where he is joined by the fit against Stephen McLaughlin.

Southend United (5-3-2): Smith, White, Thompson, Barrett, Sokolik, Kyprianou, Atkinson, King, Leonard, Cox, Mooney

Substitutes: Oxley, Coker, O’Neill, McLaughlin, McGlashan, Bridge & Demetriou
