Tranmere Rovers are back on the road this weekend to face Leyton Orient in Sky Bet League Two at the Breyer Group Stadium.
Rovers head into this fixture following a battling display and maximum points on Tuesday night away at Carlisle. That result sees Rovers sit in 5th position in the division and two points outside of the automatic positions.
Orient’s last outing was also on Tuesday night in a 1-0 away defeat at Bradford City. The O’s have drawn three and lost three of their last six, leaving them in 12th position in the table.
Team news
On Thursday, Keith Hill confirmed that Otis Khan will still be missing for this fixture whilst Sid Nelson took a knock on Tuesday night and will be assessed leading up to this game. Kyle Hayde has also been recovering from a slight groin injury.

One to watch
Striker, Danny Johnson
Johnson comfortably leads the goalscoring charts for Orient with 17 goals in all competitions this campaign.
The forward had a brief loan spell at Prenton Park in 2014-15.
Since then, Johnson notched an impressive 44 goals in 110 appearances for Gateshead before having spells in Scotland with Motherwell and Dundee.
Since signing in the Summer, Johnson has been the key source of goals for The O’s but has only managed one goal since the turn of the year. Nevertheless, Johnson will be a threat that Rovers will have to keep an eye on this Saturday.
