Leyton Orient prepare to entertain Shrewsbury Town at Matchroom Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The O's are clearly on top, having won 14 and lost only 5 of the 22 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Matchroom Stadium was just last season, in February 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League Division Three match.
