SOUTHEND United manager Sol Campbell has made two changes to his starting line-up against Bristol Rovers this afternoon with Jason Demetriou and Miles Mitchell-Nelson both returning to the team.

Mitchell-Nelson replaces the injured Timothee Dieng at the heart of the back four while Demetriou comes in for Milligan - who misses out with a fractured cheekbone - and will also skipper the side.

However, the rest of the side remains unchanged as Sam Mantom again misses out with a hamstring problem.

Southend United: Gunnarsson, Bwomono, Shaughnessy, Mitchell-Nelson, Clifford, Kinali, Demetriou, Gard, Egbri, McLaughlin, Kelman

Subs: Seaden, Goodship, Barratt, Kyprianou, Hutchinson, Rush & Howard
