TEAM NEWS - LEYTON ORIENT

Manager Geraint Williams has no significant injury concerns ahead of the trip to Priestfield. The O's will be however be without loan stars Nicky Adams and Matthew Briggs after the pair recently returned to Leicester and Fulham respectively.

Williams strengthened his side on Monday evening with the loan signing of Blackburn Rovers midfielder Aaron Doran. The 18 year-old played against the Gills during a brief loan stint with MK Dons earlier this season and is expected to come straight into the O's side tonight.

CURRENT FORM:

Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Tranmere Rovers brought an end to Orient's six game unbeaten run, which included wins over Charlton, Yeovil and Bristol Rovers as well as a creditable 1-1 draw with Leeds United. That run has seen the O's climb to 14th in the table though they remain just two places and three points above the Gills. 

SQUAD FROM:
