Leyton Orient face a trip to Northampton Town at Sixfields on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The O's will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 20 and win only 6 of the 33 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2004, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League Two match.
