The hosts will be without long-term absentee Jordan Graham (knee) and Brandon Cooper, who will serve the final game of his three-match suspension following his red card in Orient's 3-0 reverse at home to Derby County.

THE OPPOSITION

The O's currently sit 16th in the Sky Bet League One standings having claimed 25 points from their 22 league fixtures to date.

The hosts raced into a 3-0 lead after just 10 minutes and although the O's fought back early in the second period through Shaq Forde and Theo Archibald, Bolton saw the game out to take them up to third.
