History of the Leeds United v Leyton Orient fixture

The Whites play host to Leyton Orient at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. Leeds are clearly on top, with a 62.5% success rate in the fixture.

The last time the two teams met at Elland Road was way back in the black-and-white days of April 1964, with United carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a 2nd Division match.
