Brighton & HA prepare to entertain Leyton Orient at Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Seagulls are clearly on top, having won 23 and lost only 6 of the 43 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Withdean Stadium was just last season, in September 2006, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a League One match.
