Orient v Oldham. Saturday, March 17
PREVIOUS RESULT THIS SEASON: Oldham 3 Orient 3
LAST TIME AT BRISBANE ROAD: The O's secured one of their biggest ever scalps on January 15, 1992, when they beat the then top flight Latics 4-2 in an FA Cup third round replay.
HEAD-TO-HEAD: Orient 13 wins, Oldham 20 wins and 12 draws.
FORM: Promotion chasing Oldham have recently recovered from four straight defeats in the league with a 1-1 draw against Carlisle and a 4-0 thrashing of Doncaster at Boundary Park last weekend. Despite sitting fifth in the table, John Sheridan's men have only won seven times on their league travels this season.
DANGER MAN: While leading scorer Chris Porter (above) who has netted 19 goals already this season has missed Oldham's last couple of games with a knee injury, the former Bury striker could well return to action at Brisbane Road on Saturday.
FUN FACT: Graham Lambert of the early 90s Indie band the Inspiral Carpets is listed as one of the Latics many famous fans, along with glamour model Michelle Marsh (below) who is also happy to support her local team to the extent that she was dating Oldham's Scottish defender Will Haining.
PREDICTION: Orient 2 Oldham 1
