Leyton Orient will be looking to keep pace with the top-six in League One this weekend when they travel to bottom club Hartlepool United. 

The O's moved into the top ten of the league for the first time last weekend after beating title challengers Tranmere Rovers. 

Hartlepool remain at the foot of the table despite putting together a four-game unbeaten run. Their most recent result was a goalless draw at home to second bottom Portsmouth on Tuesday.

Orient could make a number of changes to the side with their Johnstone's Paint Trophy area final second leg taking place at Southend United on Wednesday night.

Kevin Lisbie remains sidelined with a hamstring injury but manager Russell Slade has a virtually full strength squad to choose from.

When the two sides met earlier in the season in October, Orient earned a 1-0 home victory over United.
