WILL a looming stormy derby for Swansea distract Orient’s FA Cup hosts this weekend?

The Swans face arch-rivals Cardiff nex Sunday in the midst of a push for a longed-for promotion into the Premier League.

In-form Orient will look to capitalise if Swansea have their minds on other matters.

Injuries mean the hosts are without a string of players for the tie at the Liberty Stadium.

Midfielder Andrea Orlandi could miss out with a thigh injury.

Captain Gerry Monk is absent. The defender has a knee problem.

Full back Neil Taylor has damaged his ankle.

But Orient have problems of their own.

A dead leg for skipper Stephen Dawson means Orient are sweating on his recovery in time for the game.

Replacement Adam Chambers is unavailable with a hamstring problem.

Andrew Whing looks set to start at right-back in the continued absence of crocked Elliot Omozusi.
