Team News: Chris Dagnall poised for full Leyton Orient debut

Dagnall poised for full Orient debut

Leyton Orient striker Chris Dagnall is poised to make his full debut in tonight's visit of Coventry City after being named in Russell Slade's starting lineup.

The 28-year-old came off the bench to score twice in the club's 2-1 win away to Crewe Alexandra 10 days ago, earning himself a starting berth tonight.

Dagnall will partner Kevin Lisbie in attack, while David Mooney and Shaun Batt both remain sidelined with injuries.

Meanwhile, George Thomas has replaced Leon Clarke in City's first XI from the 4-0 thrashing by Arsenal in the FA Cup on Friday.

Clarke, who was reportedly the subject of a £500,000 bid from Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday, sits out the trip to the capital with a foot injury.

The 28-year-old's absence is manager Steven Pressley's only change from the defeat at the Emirates Stadium.

Leyton Orient: Jakupovic; Omozusi, Clarke, Cuthbert, Baudry; Cox, James, Odubajo, Vincelot; Lisbie, Dagnall

Coventry City: Murphy; Christie, Webster, Seaborne, Adams; Baker, C Thomas, Daniels, Fleck, Moussa; G Thomas
