Aaron A: Orient are in fantastic form, losing once in their last 13. They meet Lincoln, who have won once in 11 trips.

A repeat of that performance could be good enough for all three points against a Brentford side that have lost five of their last nine Premier League matches and seven of their 11 away league games this season.

Wigan bowed out of the FA Cup with a 2-1 loss at home to Premier League Fulham but they can respond with a league victory over promotion-chasing Stockport.
