Southend United make two changes to the line-up for today's League One encounter at Hartlepool United.
Francis Laurent comes into the side down the right wing to replace Sanchez Watt, who has since returned to Arsenal, which means Damian Scannell will switch down the left flank.
With Jean-Francois Christophe suspended, Franck Moussa will start in the centre of the park alongside Alan McCormack.
Southend: Mildenhall, Francis, M'Voto, Baldwin, Barrett, Laurent, McCormack, Moussa, Scannell, Paterson, Vernon.
Subs: Jack, Sankofa, Herd, Malone, Spencer, Crawford.
Hartlepool: Flinders, Austin, Collins, Liddle, Hartley, Jones, Sweeney, Gamble, Monkhouse, O'Donovan, Boyd.
Subs: Cook, Humphreys, McSweeney, Behan, Brown, Haslam, Bjornsson.
