BILLY Clarke is back in City's plans for the home clash with Southend tomorrow.

The striker is fit to return to the squad after missing the last three games with a hamstring strain.

Phil Parkinson said: "It’s a huge boost for us because he was our top scorer last year.

“This time last year he pushed on and had a tremendous finish to the season and I’m expecting him to do that again.

“It was only a minor hamstring strain but he’s trained the last three or four days and he’s right back in contention for the squad tomorrow.”

Parkinson is looking for City to back up Saturday's convincing win at Peterborough against a side currently three points above them.

The City boss added: “Taking everything into account, it’s got to be up there in terms of performances of the season.

“Obviously we are pleased and now we’ve got to pick the team that can reproduce that tomorrow.

"The ones who are in the team have got to play like they did at the weekend."
