Fairclough to keep faith with XI

Barnet boss Paul Fairclough is set to name an unchanged side for the trip to Southend. On-loan Southampton midfielder Anthony Pulis serves the second game of his three-match ban so Fairclough is likely to stick with the line-up which drew 1-1 at Cheltenham on Saturday. Steve Kabba played as the lone striker in front of Mark Marshall and Oxford loanee Sam Deering, with Izale McLeod starting on the bench. Fairclough has no new injury concerns but defensive duo Daniel Leach and Darren Dennehy are still missing with foot injuries and forward Ricky Holmes is out for the season with a broken metatarsal. The Bees remain on the foot of the table but are just two points from safety.
