Richie Wellens' Leyton Orient host Grant McCann's Doncaster this Saturday in a match-up between two teams without a win in the league since the 6th of September. Orient in particular have struggled in the early stages of their League One season and will be keen to string a run of form together, starting at home on the weekend. Doncaster have also been struggling as of late, but a lightning fast start has them sitting tenth in the table. Saturday will no doubt be viewed by both sides as an opportunity to get back on track.

Leyton Orient vs Doncaster Key Players To Watch

Owen Bailey (Doncaster) The Doncaster skipper has been performing brilliant this season and has managed to attain a level of consistency that arguably makes him their most important player. His performances have perhaps not reflected his team's results, and is top scorer for his side with 5 league goals this campaign. If Doncaster are to get 3 points in this one, Bailey will be at the heart of their success.

Billy Sharp (Doncaster) Perhaps a victim of his team's struggles in recent weeks, Sharp's goals have dried up alongside his side's search for win. With a last league goal coming against Bradford at the start of September, Sharp will be eager to rekindle his goal scoring touch in the trip to the Matchroom Stadium.

Idris El Mizouni (Leyton Orient) The Tunisian midfielder has been in excellent form as of late, scoring twice in Orient's last 3 games. He has undoubtedly been a shining light in a terrible season so far for the League One side and his importance to the team cannot be understated. El Mizouni will be vital if Orient are to reverse their run of form.
