Leyton Orient prepare to entertain Southend United at Matchroom Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The O's are clearly on top, having won 19 and lost only 6 of the 33 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Matchroom Stadium was just last season, in October 2002, the O's carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Division Three match.
