Team News: Kevin Lisbie returns for Preston North End clash

Leyton Orient hitman Kevin Lisbie has reclaimed his place in the starting lineup for the visit of Preston North End to the Matchroom Stadium this afternoon.

The veteran striker, whose nine goals have helped propel the East London outfit to the summit of League One this season, sat out last week's FA Cup clash with Southport and Wednesday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy exit away to Stevenage.

However, the former Charlton Athletic marksman comes back into the fold for the club's return to league commitments in the encounter with the Lilywhites.

Elsewhere, captain Nathan Clarke has shaken off a back injury which threatened his inclusion.

Meanwhile, Preston boss Simon Grayson has named Joe Garner in his starting lineup in the absence of Stuart Beavon.

Beavon was dismissed in the club's 6-0 thrashing of Barnet in the FA Cup last week, meaning that Garner - who bagged a brace in the rout - retains his selection and will partner veteran Kevin Davies in attack.

Grayson also has the luxury of naming Chris Humphrey in his first XI, after Jamaica permitted their Europe-based personnel to remain at their clubs during the international break.

Leyton Orient: Jones; Omozusi, Sawyer, Clarke, Cuthbert; Cox, James, Odbajo, Bartley; Mooney, Lisbie

Preston North End: Rudd; King, Wright, Clarke, Humphrey; Welsh, Keane, Laird, Gallagher; Davies, Garner.
