Match Build Up

Team News
Leyton Orient Wrexham
Leyton Orient boss Paul Brush is likely to stick with the same line-up that held promoted Rushden to a goalless draw when his side take on Wrexham. 
Glenn Morris keeps his place in goal as first-choice keeper Lee Harrison has yet to fully recover from a thigh strain - though he will be on the bench. 

Defender Simon Downer is available after missing the Rushden game through suspension, but may have to make do with a place among the substitutes. 

Midfielder Matt Brazier, who hobbled off with a heel injury at the weekend, has been passed fit and should play		 Wrexham goalkeeper Andy Dibble has failed to recover from a groin strain to keep his place in the starting line-up. 

Dibble was substituted at half-time during the Dragons' 5-0 win over Cambridge on Saturday after complaining of pain when kicking the ball. 

However, Wrexham were cruising 3-0 at the break, and manager Denis Smith decided to rest the veteran stopper and give Kristian Rogers a rare run-out. 

Midfielder Scott Green is unlikely to feature as he continues to struggle with a hamstring problem. 

But striker Lee Trundle is back in the squad after missing out against the Us for personal reasons.
