Match preview

Sol Campbell is still searching for his first win as Southend boss but an FA Cup trip to National League side Dover looks the perfect opportunity for the struggling Shrimpers to restore some confidence.

Southend are second from bottom in Sky Bet League One but recent signs have been more encouraging and victory at Dover, who are mid-table in England’s fifth tier, may be the lift they need to get their season back on the track.

Key stat

Dover have won just two of their ten home games this season.
