Oldham Athletic are welcoming Leyton Orient for another important game after their 0-1 result against Burton Albion.

Leyton Orient could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a EFL Trophy game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Bristol Rovers. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
