Billy Heath’s side have only scored once in their last four league matches, while Matty Kosylo is the only member of the squad to have found the net in their last six outings.

Orient will climb above Halifax in the table if they win. If Halifax win they will be seven points above the relegation zone, but if they lose the gap will remain only four points.

Orient are without a win in five and have won only three times on the road in the league this season. Their total of 14 away goals is the fourth-worst in the division.

Striker Macauley Bonne has six goals in his last nine appearances, and 14 in 28 league appearances this season.
