Deane Smalley and Lewis Alessandra will lead the attack at Leyton Orient this afternoon (KO 3pm) following a late injury to Steven Kabba.

Kabba picked up a problem in training on Friday and failed a late fitness test at the team hotel earlier today.

Now Royle - who pledged "to give youth its head" in midweek - has handed the pair their chance up front together.

Elsewhere Danny Whitaker comes back into the side while Stefan Stam slots in with Reuben Hazell moving across to replace Neal Eardley, who is on international duty.

Ian Westlake is back in midfield after being ruled ineligible for the midweek draw at former club Cheltenham.

Latics: Supple, Hazell, Jones, Gregan, Stam, Taylor, Whitaker, Westlake, Allott, Alessandra, Smalley.

Subs: Lomax, Maher, Lee, Liddell, Fleming.

Leyton Orient have named the following side:

Jones, Purches, Thelwell, Gray, Thornton, Terry, Demetriou, Daniels, Smith, Spence, McGleish.

Subs: Saah, Melligan, Morgan, Boyd, Morris.
