Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 17
Leyton Orient wins: 2
Draws: 2
Man City wins: 13
Leyton Orient and Manchester City have faced each other a total of 17 times across all competitions, with the Citizens comfortably leading the head-to-head record having posted 13 wins to the O's two, while there have also been just two draws played out between these two teams.
Their very first meeting took place back in September 1909 when Orient secured a 3-2 home victory over Man City in the old Division Two. The Citizens got their revenge, though, and won the reverse fixture 2-1 on their own turf seven months later.
In fact, Man City went on to win their next eight encounters with Orient over a 52-year period, including two FA Cup triumph's by a 4-1 scoreline and a 6-1 scoreline in January 1920 and March 1926 respectably.
Man City picked up four points from their only two top-flight meetings with Orient in the 1962-63 season, winning 2-0 at home and drawing 1-1 away, although both teams were relegated that season.
The Citizens' biggest win over Orient to date is an emphatic 6-0 second-tier triumph at Maine Road in August 1964, but the O's came out on top in a seven-goal thriller just five days later, winning 4-3.
Meanwhile, the most recent meeting between these two teams took place in February 2025 when Man City were forced to come from behind to beat their League One counterparts 2-1 at Brisbane Road in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
