Swindon Town v Leyton Orient Preview

Leyton Orient travel to Swindon for a npower League 1 encounter on Saturday.

O's manager Russell Slade told leytonorient.com:

'We have been to Swindon already this season and won, but we haven't won away from home in the League this season, and we want to get that monkey off our back on Saturday.

'We know that Swindon's a tough test and Danny Wilson's a shrewd operator. He's a good manager and I respect him a lot. They've got some good players - most of those players got them into the play-offs last season.'

Swindon Town Team News:

Swindon may be without captain Jonathan Douglas and striker Vincent Pericard due to injury.

Striker Charlie Austin will be looking to start after recovering from a shoulder problem.

Player to watch: Jon-Paul McGovern

Experienced Jon-Paul McGovern will be a lively threat to Orient's defence from Swindon's midfield.

Leyton Orient Team News:

Orient will still be without keeper Jamie Jones because of a groin injury whilst the O's will be hoping captain Stephen Dawson will be fit after missing the Hartlepool game.

Player to watch: Paul-Jose Mpoku

Paul-Jose Mpoku will be pushing for a start after a impressive performance from the subs bench against Hartlepool.

The lively winger has just extended his loan at the O's and will look to take on the Swindon defence on Saturday.

Match Facts & Stats

Leyton Orient sit 20th in the npower League 1 table, only three points behind tomorrow's opposition.

Leyton Orient will look to build on their victory last weekend and after Swindon's crushing 5-4 last-minute defeat, the O's have a good chance of picking up another three points.
