"Starting with the hosts, while Leyton Orient might have opened up the new campaign pencilled in as a standout contender to claim another play-off ticket, Richie Wellens' camp have shown a string of issues this time around. Despite getting their EFL trophy adventure underway with a 3-1 win away at Peterborough on September 2nd, it appears that was just a minor boost for the O's."
"Last seen over the weekend eventually falling to what was a dramatic 4-3 defeat away at Cardiff, the former Salford boss could find some mounting pressure on his shoulders. Signing off September with a 3-2 loss at home against Stevenage, Leyton Orient have lost their previous three straight League One appearances by an aggregate score of 9-6. Continuing to show some major defensive struggles this year, Wellens' men are desperately seeking a much-needed boost here."
Leyton Orient will welcome Crawley Town to Brisbane Road in the EFL Trophy as both clubs aim for consecutive wins. Leyton Orient have lost three straight League One matches, conceded nine goals and recorded recent defeats including 4-3 at Cardiff and 3-2 against Stevenage. Several players remain sidelined with knee injuries, including Theo Archibald, Jordan Graham and Zech Obiero, while Michael Craig is a doubt. Aaron Connolly has scored in consecutive matches and could continue his run. Crawley, relegated last season, endured a worrying 3-1 loss at Cambridge and remain in fragile form.
