Need to know
Both teams have scored in 13 of Wycombe's 15 matches this season which ought to encourage the shot-shy Dons to believe even they can find the net in this one.

Need to know
This is a rare away game for Orient — just their third road trip in seven weeks — and with draws bagged at places like Luton and Bradford (as well as big wins at Wigan and Bromley) they have to be confident. Burton have only one win in 10.
