SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has made one change to his starting line-up for this afternoon's clash at Bristol Rovers.

The fit-again Anthony Wordsworth replaces the injured Michael Kightly in midfield but the rest of the side is the same that started the 2-0 win against Oldham Athletic last weekend.

As a result, Stephen Hendrie will start ahead of Michael Timlin at left-back.

Southend United: Oxley, Demetriou, Ferdinand, Turner, Hendrie, Wright, Wordsworth, Leonard, McLaughlin, Cox, Fortune

Subs: Bishop, Timlin, Ba, Yearwood, McGlashan, White & Ranger
