The Shrimpers are expected to go into tomorrow's Championship clash with Derby County at Roots Hall with an unchanged side.

Southend defeated fellow Championship strugglers 2-0 in their FA Cup third round replay at Oakwell on Tuesday night, and manager Steve Tilson is believed to not have any changes planned in the starting line-up.

Blues go into the match with the second-placed Rams on the back of a six-match unbeaten run.

And they will run out to the Johnny Cash hit Ring of Fire for the first time at Roots Hall tomorrow afternoon.

Having drawn level on points with Leeds United, the Shrimpers will be hoping to pick up their fifth home win of the season and looking for West Brom to beat Leeds.

Tilson's troops beat the Baggies 3-1 in their last league match at Roots Hall.

Centre-half Spencer Prior (groin) and winger Mitchell Cole (hamstring) are still nursing injuries.

But goalkeeper Steve Collis is back in training after recovering from an appendix operation.

The former Yeovil Town custodian has been out since November and his place on the bench has been taken by youth team keeper Joe Welch.

The youngster has not been called on yet and will continue to deputise for Collis until he returns to full fitness.
