Leyton Orient v Brighton

Leyton Orient are likely to be without three key players for the home match against Brighton.

Not only were Martin Ling's men mauled 5-0 at Bournemouth on Saturday to drop back into the League One relegation zone, defender Justin Miller, midfielder Luke Guttridge and forward Jabo Ibehre all picked up knocks.

Ling admitted: ``I don't think Ibehre, Miller or Guttridge will make Tuesday night.

``It is a blow to lose them, but we will get on with it and hopefully pull off a result against Brighton. It is a huge match.''

Defender Brian Saah plays his final game before beginning a one-match suspension after picking up his fifth booking of the campaign against the Cherries, while midfielder Michael Simpson and forward Efe Echanomi (both knee) are sidelined.

Brighton will be without experienced defender Kerry Mayo for the clash.

Mayo was sent off for two bookable offences during Saturday's defeat at Brentford and begins a two-match ban for his second red card of the season.

Youngster Sam Rents is set to take over at left-back with Joel Lynch staying in the middle alongside Guy Butters.

Boss Dean Wilkins paired Jake Robinson with midfielder Dean Cox in attack at Griffin Park, but with the Seagulls' goal drought now stretching over 400 minutes he is expected to make changes again.

Alex Revell is close to a return from ankle ligament damage, but he will not be ready to figure at Brisbane Road so January recruit Bas Savage could return to the starting line-up after a decent substitute appearance at the weekend.

Charlie Oatway (ankle), Adam Hinshelwood and Paul Reid (both knee) are long-term absentees.
