New signings set to be given chance to impress by both managers
Simon Dawkins' Leyton Orient debut is on hold, while Hereford United should have several new signings on show.
On-loan Tottenham striker Dawkins is likely to miss out against Hereford after hurting his ankle in a friendly against his parent club.
Orient manager Martin Ling is expected to have midfielder Paul Terry and defender Tamika Mkandawire in his team after the duo overcame ankle and groin problems respectively.
Summer signings Danny Granville, Ryan Jarvis, Jamie Jones and Andrew Cave-Brown are all vying to make their competitive debuts in the League One opener.
Hereford news
Promoted Hereford will be without Karl Broadhurst for the game as the defender suffered a dislocated shoulder in pre-season.
New signing Garry Breen is likely to line-up with Robbie Threlfall in a defensive berth, while Darren Randolph or Craig Samson will be in goal.
Striker Moses Ashikodi, who signed on a six-month loan from Watford on Tuesday, is expected to go straight into the starting XI.
Bulls boss Graham Turner is also likely to hand competitive debuts to Matty Done, Toumani Diagouraga and Bradley Hudson-Odoi.
