Southend United manager Phil Brown has named the same team that defeated Bristol Rovers in the JPT for the game against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

This means that Adam Thompson and Adam Barrett continue their partnership at the heart of defence.

Michael Timlin comes back into the squad and takes his place on the bench.

Blues: Bentley; White, Thompson, Barrett, Coker; Worrall, Leonard, Atkinson, Hurst; Payne; Mooney

Substitutes: P. Smith, Prosser, Timlin, Weston, Bolger, Pigott, O'Neill
