League One, Saturday, December 20, 3pm

LAST TIME AT BOUNDARY PARK: Oldham 2 Orient 0 (12-04-2008) First half goals from Chris Taylor and Mark Allott saw the Latics secure the points.

HEAD-TO-HEAD: Oldham 21 wins, Orient 14 wins and 13 draws.

FORM: Oldham are unbeaten in their last four games, although Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Peterborough was their second stalemate on the bounce.

DANGER MAN: Former Premier League striker Lee Hughes remains a potent threat at this level. The ex-West Brom frontman already has 11 goals to his name this season following his brace at the weekend at Peterborough.

FUN FACT: Inspiral Carpets guitarist Graham Lambert is reported to be an Oldham fan. Lambert, who was a founder member of the indie rock group grew up in the town and along with Stephen Holt named his group after a clothing shop on an Oldham trading estate.

PREDICTION: Oldham 1 Orient 1.
