Southampton prepare to entertain Leyton Orient at St. Marys on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Saints are clearly on top, having won 14 and lost only 5 of the 23 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at St. Marys was less than a year ago, in April 2010, the Saints carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League One match.
