Leyton Orient face a trip to Brighton & Hove Albion at Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, 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 23 and win only 6 of the 43 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2006, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 1 thriller, in a League One match.
