SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has made one change to his starting line-up for this afternoon's clash with MK Dons at Roots Hall.

Ryan Leonard has returned in the centre of the park after completing a three match suspension and replaces the injured John White in a change which sees Michael Timlin reverting to left-back.

However, the rest of the side remains unchanged with Anthony Wordsworth fit to start in midfield despite suffering a hamstring problem at Chesterfield on Friday.

Southend United: Walton, Demetriou, Thompson, Ferdinand, Timlin, Atkinson, Leonard, Wordsworth, McLaughlin, Cox, Ranger

Subs: O’Neill, Fortune, Amos, McGlashan, Hines, Kyprianou & Robinson
