ELVIS Bwomono will line up at left-back for Southend United at Portsmouth this afternoon.

Bwomono finished last season on the left hand side of the Blues back four and has been chosen there for today’s clash at Fratton Park.

As a result, Taylor Moore will start at right back with Stephen McLaughlin further forward on the right wing.

Harry Bunn, Simon Cox and Timothee Dieng all start after missing Wednesday night’s Checkatrade Trophy clash at Luton Town with slight knocks.

Southend United: Oxley, Bwomono, Moore, Turner, White, McLaughlin, Hyam, Dieng, Mantom, Bunn, Cox

Subs: Bishop, Kightly, Yearwood, McCoulsky, Robinson, Hendrie & Hutchinson
