SOUTHEND United defender John White will miss today’s clash against Blackpool with an illness.

As a result, Taylor Moore will partner Michael Turner at the heart of the back four.

Blues boss Chris Powell appears to have set the side up in a 4-3- formation with Harry Bunn and Michael Kightly in support of Simon Cox.

Southend United: Oxley, Demetriou, Turner, Moore, Hendrie, Bunn, Dieng, Mantom, Yearwood, Kightly, Cox

Subs: Bishop, Bwomono, Kyprianou, Hyam, McLaughlin, McCoulsky & Robinson
