Plymouth Argyle aim to bounce back from their first league defeat when they visit Leyton Orient this Saturday. The 1-0 home loss to Burton Albion last weekend halted a run of three straight league wins where they scored ten goals, but they remain fourth in League One with 13 points from eight games.
Team news and London return
Wes Harding, who has played in all 11 of Plymouth's competitive matches this season, is set for a return to the capital after joining from Millwall in the summer. Club captain Joe Edwards remains unavailable as he continues his recovery from a knee procedure carried out over the summer.
The Orient challenge
Richie Wellens' Leyton Orient side presents a significant attacking threat, having scored in every league game this season. They have overperformed their expected goals by the highest margin in the division, with Jaze Kabia contributing four goals and two assists. Their midfield is anchored by Idris El Mizouni, who has made a league-high 27 tackles, and Isaac Hayden, who has collected four yellow cards.
Plymouth's recent form, which includes a 4-2 win at Blackpool, shows they have the firepower to respond, with Aribim Pepple their top scorer this season on three goals. The match kicks off on Saturday as Argyle look to close the two-point gap to league leaders Bradford.
