ORIENT will field a very young reserve side for this evening's Pontin's Holidays Combination Central Division fixture at Southampton.

Clayton Fortune, Aiden Palmer and Efe Echanomi are the only senior players in the starting line-up, but Loick Pires and Solomon Shields, who have recently been given their first pro deals, also start.

Injuries and illness have left the O's light on numbers, and assistant manager Dean Smith (pictured) and youth team manager Kevin Nugent are named amongst the substitutes.

Kick-off is at 7pm and a full report will appear on leytonorient.com after the game.

Orient: Jack Giddins; Brandon Martin, Patrick O'Donnell, Clayton Fortune, Aiden Palmer; Harry Baker, Solomon Shields, Daryl Sydes, Loick Pires; Efe Echanomi, Raphael Sylvester
Subs: Adam Marsh, Adam Bolle, Dean Smith, Kevin Nugent
