This weekend Orient head up to East Staffordshire to play Burton Albion, with both teams lolling around in mid-table and level on 14 points. The Brewers are always obstinate opponents for us, but we'll nevertheless be looking to return to winning ways on the road after Wednesday's defeat at Reading.

Wycombe rock up at Fortress (not) Brisbane Road at the ungodly hour of 12.30 on Saturday for a game that someone inexplicably felt was worthy of a wider TV audience. Our visitors will be looking for their first league win, while the Os aim to get back to winning ways after a good point at Luton and our meek mid-week exit from the Carabao Cup.
