Leyton Orient will hope to go one better this season in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy when they start this year's competition at Gillingham tonight. 

The O's agonisingly missed out on a trip to Wembley last season after their area final defeat to Southend United.

But the League One leaders will be fancied to make another strong challenge with confidence high after their best ever winning start to a season.

Russell Slade could hand a debut to Bournemouth striker Jayden Stockley after the teenager joined yesterday in a one-month loan.

Burnley midfielder Marvin Bartley is also eligible to face the newly-promoted League One side while Shaun Batt could start after coming off the bench during Saturday's win at Colchester United.
