Leyton Orient player-manager Kevin Nolan insists his team will relish the chance to face League Two leaders Northampton Town at Brisbane Road tomorrow. 

The Cobblers have won their last six league games and lost just one of their last 15 matches in the division.

Orient are seventh in the table and targeting a place in the play-offs this season.

Nolan said: "Of course you've got to look forward to playing all the top teams in the division. If you manage to take three points off them then you cut the gap on them. 

"You've got to play them at some time but we're at our place next week so hopefully we will be looking for the same as we got today which was a good, solid performance with a lot of quality."

The O's will be able to call on midfielder Nigel Atangana after a gentlemen's agreement prevented him from facing his old club Portsmouth.

Nolan is in line to make his first start at Brisbane Road after playing 70 minutes at Fratton Park in last Saturday's 1-0 win.

Shaun Brisley, Nicky Hunt and Jerome Binnom-Williams could all make their home debut this weekend.

Orient drew 1-1 at Northampton back in September but the Cobblers have lost just twice in the league since then.
