SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has made one enforced change to his starting line-up for this afternoon's clash with Coventry City at Roots Hall with Luke O'Neill returning to the team.

O'Neill replaces the injured Will Atkinson on the right hand side of midfield but the rest of the team remains the same with Nile Ranger continuing in attack alongside Simon Cox with Marc-Antoine Fortune staying among the substitutes against his former side.

Southend United: Oxley, Demetriou, Thompson, Ferdinand, Timlin, O'Neill, Leonard, Wordsworth, McLaughlin, Cox, Ranger

Subs: Smith, White, Fortune, Sokolik, King, McGlashan & Bridge
