SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has made three changes to his starting line-up for tonight’s clash with Oxford at Roots Hall.

Defenders Ryan Inniss and Anton Ferdinand have both been recalled in place of John White and Adam Thompson while Anthony Wordsworth has been handed his first start of the season in place of Will Atkinson.

The rest of the team remains unchanged with Mark Oxley keeping his place between the sticks despite a poor mistake at Northampton Town at Saturday.

Southend United: Oxley, Inniss, Ferdinand, Barrett, Demetriou, Leonard, Wordsworth, Coker, McGlashan, Mooney, McLaughlin

Substitutes: Smith, White, Thompson, O’Neill, Cox, Atkinson & King
