Saturday sees Leyton Orient face Yeovil Town at Brisbane Road in a six-pointer relegation clash in East London.

Ryan Hodges is hoping to return from a thigh injury – but apart from this Orient are suffering from bad news on the team selection front, with Shane Lowry a major doubt having missed the fixture at Peterborough and Romain Vincelot out for the rest of the season.

Yeovil have Joe Edwards and Stephen Kingsley back in the squad, with Edwards in particular a massive boost for the travelling side, who have missed him for the last six matches.

Both teams can move out of the relegation positions if they win and results go for them in other fixtures. Yeovil are bottom of the table with only one win in their eight league games away from home.

As for the head to head between the two, they are evenly matched. Orient have won eight of the past 22 meetings with Yeovil winning eight of their own.
