Bradford City vs York City
Kick Off: 3.00pm
at the Coral Windows Stadium
After missing Tuesday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy victory at Hartlepool United, Luke Oliver has thankfully been passed fit to play against York City this Saturday.
Oliver will take Rory McArdle's place in the Bantams' back four from Tuesday night, enabling Stephen Darby to keep hold of the right back slot.
James Meredith returns to left back to complete City's defensive line up after starting the Hartlepool tie from the bench, while Nathan Doyle and Nahki Wells are also recalled.
Wells is expected to partner James Hanson in attack for the Bantams, leaving Alan Connell to once again take up a position just behind the front two in City's likely 4-3-1-2 formation.
