Danny Philliskirk comes in for the missing Nathan Delfouneso, who has been ruled out with concussion.

Philliskirk impressed after replacing Delfouneso during the first half of Blackpool’s 1-0 win against Charlton Athletic on Tuesday night.

That came after Delfouneso was stretchered off the pitch and rushed to hospital following a clash of heads with Charlton’s Lewis Page.

The 27-year-old was allowed home the same night and should be okay to return for the trip to MK Dons next week.

Max Clayton takes Philliskirk's spot on the bench.

The Seasiders go into today's match looking to pick up a second home victory in the space of just five days.

Their opponents Southend are one position and one point ahead of them in the league table.
