Match Preview
Mohsni banned for Shrimpers Southend boss Paul Sturrock must decide who will replace Bilel Mohsni for the visit of promotion rivals Oxford. The versatile Mohsni, who - along with Ryan Hall - flanked striker Liam Dickinson in last weekend`s 2-0 victory at Macclesfield, picked up his fifth booking of the season late on and now serves an automatic one-match suspension. Sturrock will assess his options in training before making a decision on Friday as to who will step in, with Anthony Grant, Jemal Johnson, Ryan Leonard and Neil Harris all leading the way. Defender Luke Prosser (concussion) and midfielder Lee Sawyer (thigh) will again compete for inclusion as the Shrimpers, top of League Two and on a nine-match unbeaten sequence, aim to inflict defeat on an Oxford side whose run of one defeat in 10 has taken them up to fourth place. Striker Barry Corr has resumed full training following his lengthy spell on the sidelines with a knee injury but the game comes too soon for him, as it does for goalkeeper Glenn Morris (thigh). Saturday`s league clash is the first of two meetings between Southend and Oxford in the space of four days, with the two clubs going head-to-head again on Tuesday at the Kassam Stadium in their Johnstone`s Paint Trophy Southern Section quarter-final. Damian Batt returns from suspension for Oxford. Defender Batt missed the victory over Port Vale last weekend after he was booked for the fifth time this season, but is available for manager Chris Wilder for the trip to the table-topping Shrimpers. Meanwhile, striker Jonathan Franks is set to be part of the matchday squad after fully recovering from a dislocated shoulder suffered in a training match in September. The on-loan forward had gone back to parent club Middlesbrough for treatment but is now fit and will be fighting for a place alongside James Constable up front with Deane Smalley and Danny Philliskirk. Rob Hall was recalled by West Ham during the week, leaving an opening in attack for one of the trio. The Us are still without injured quartet Tony Capaldi (back), Tom Craddock (knee), Anthony Tonkin (hamstring) and Andy Haworth (ankle).

Match Report
Shrimpers go clear at top Southend went two points clear at the top as goals from Mark Phillips and Ryan Hall handed them a 2-1 win over fellow high-flyers Oxford. The visitors dominated the first half and it was only some good saves from on-loan West Brom goalkeeper Luke Daniels that kept the scores level as he denied Peter Leven three times and Andy Whing once. The Shrimpers took the lead against the run of play in the first minute of stoppage time when Ryan Hall whipped in a free kick from the left and Mark Phillips headed home from close range at the back post. Michael Timlin blew a good chance to double Southend's lead and Oxford rubbed salt in the wound by equalising in the 62nd minute. Leven`s diagonal cross from the left picked out Damian Batt at the back post and he headed back across the goal into the left-hand side of the goal. Parity lasted just five minutes though before Hall restored Southend's lead with a superb arcing 25-yard shot that went in the top left-hand side of the goal following Timlin's pass.
