Team news

Shakers waiting on trio Bury will run the rule over Andy Bishop, Steven Schumacher and Peter Sweeney before hosting Leyton Orient.

Top scorer Bishop has missed the back-to-back defeats against Exeter and MK Dons with an ankle injury sustained during the 1-1 draw with Chesterfield last week and he remains an injury doubt.

Captain Schumacher and fellow midfielder Sweeney suffered respective groin and back problems during the 2-1 reverse in Milton Keynes and face late fitness tests.

Either Schumacher or Sweeney making kick-off would be a welcome boost to boss Richie Barker, whose midfield resources are starting to appear threadbare in light of Giles Coke's red card against the Dons, for which he will serve a one-match ban.

Full-back Phil Picken is another injury doubt with a thigh complaint but is expected to be passed fit.

Leyton Orient have a goalkeeping headache.

Lee Butcher, who has been the O's number one for most of the season, has been ruled out for the rest of the campaign after suffering a knee injury against Scunthorpe last Saturday.

Last season's first choice Jamie Jones looked to have made a timely return from his lengthy absence following a shoulder operation in the summer, only to injure his wrist in training.

Russell Slade is hoping Jones will train ahead of the weekend, but if he is not passed fit the O's manager will have to turn to 18-year-old Tom Lovelock or dip into the loan market.

Striker David Mooney is fit after a thigh injury.

Bury vs Leyton Orient

Lateef brings Shakers relief On-loan West Brom teenager Lateef Elford-Alliyu came off the substitutes' bench to rescue Bury a point against Leyton Orient.

The 19-year-old striker struck four minutes into his Shakers debut to cancel out Matt Spring's stunning first-half goal.

Orient had dominated much of the game and had the first decent opportunity when Jonathan Tehoue beat Efe Sodje for pace before flashing a shot wide.

It did not take long for them to punish Bury's sluggishness, Spring crafting space on the edge of the area to curl a delightful effort past goalkeeper Trevor Carson.

It should have been 2-0 just before the break, but Carson bailed Sodje out with a good save from Tehoue following an horrendous pass back.

Bury's first effort on target came on the hour when an unmarked Andy Bishop headed straight at Orient goalkeeper Marek Stech.

But a couple of tactical switches paid dividends for boss Richie Barker as David Worrall got to the by-line and crossed for fellow substitute Elford-Alliyu to score.
