BLUES boss Paul Sturrock has made two changes to his starting line-up for this afternoon's game against Burton Albion with both Peter Gilbert and Bilel Mohnsi being restored to the defence.

Gilbert has replaced the injured Luke Prosser at left-back for his first start of the season while Mohsni has been preferred to Graham Coughlan at the heart of the back four.

The rest of the team remains unchanged with Lee Sawyer surprisingly selected among the substitutes.

Southend United: Morris, Clohessy, Mohsni, Barker, Gilbert, Ferdinand, Grant, Kalala, Harris, Dickinson, Hall

Subs: Coughlan, Sawyer, Johnson, Bentley & Crawford
