Tomorrow's match faces a 0800am pitch inspection with hard frost forecast for London over night. But if the game goes ahead there will be food for thought for manager Terry Skiverton.
Yeovil will travel to London with the added boost of the returning duo of Alex McCarthy and Shaun MacDonald who have both rejoined the Glovers for the rest of the season on loan.
Both players have been instrumental thus far in positioning Yeovil 14th in the table and will be hoping to add to just 3 away wins the Glovers picked up in 2009.
50 points should ensure safety so Yeovil will be hoping to regain form away from home to reach half a century of points quicker.
Orient on the other hand, are in a relegation battle and will be hoping to kick start their season against the Glovers who earlier in the season drew 3-3 at Huish Park.
A win for The O's would leave them just 1 point behind Yeovil highlighting how close the league is.
Terry Skiverton has some defensive decisions to make with Terrell Forbes missing through suspension and Stefan Stam a doubt for the game. Also Nathan Smith's position at left back may be in doubt after a poor performance against Swindon.
Also missing will be in form striker Sam Williams who is serving a one match ban after accumalating 5 yellow cards. Aidan Downes is still recovering from injury whilst attacking duo Ryan Mason, Dean Bowditch and Gavin Tomlin face late fitness tests. JP Kalala lasted 45 minutes against Swindon but it remains a mystery whether he will feature against Orient.
Ex-Glover Andros Townsend won't feature against his former club as his loan at Orient has expired. But experienced midfielder Sean Thornton returns. Top scorer Scott McGleish will be hoping to add to his seasons total of 8 goals.
Terry Skiverton has played down hopes of aiming for the play-offs but some good from away from home with the good record at home, it may be achievable.
