Team News: Southend United (A)

Four changes for the Iron this afternoon as first-team manager Andy Butler opts to make alterations from his opening-day side. Firstly, Branden Horton comes into the side at left-back for Tyler Denton, who misses out through injury. Elsewhere, a change on the opposite flank as right-back Ross Barrows drops to the bench for the returning Reagan Ogle and James Gale is given his first start after an impressive opening-day cameo off the bench, slotting into the Scunthorpe midfield in place of Joe Rowley. Finally, Striker Danny Whitehall drops out of the squad, seeing last weekend's goalscorer, Luke Brennan, inducted into the starting XI, allowing for Declan Howe to lead the United line.

IRON: L. Jones, Horton, Evans, C. Howe, D.Howe, Beestin, Brennan, P. Jones, Richards, Ogle, Gale
