Sky Bet League 1
Tuesday 18 August 2015
Bantams boss Phil Parkinson has brought Tony McMahon, Billy Knott and Luke James all into his starting eleven for tonight's visit of Gillingham.
With Gary Liddle set to partner Rory McArdle in central defence and Alan Sheehan expected to begin at left back, McMahon is likely to start the match against the Gills in a holding midfield role.
James will join James Hanson in attack.
Knott is scheduled to feature just behind the duo in an attacking midfield position, replacing the injured Billy Clarke in the process.
New signing Brad Jones is named among City's substitutes for the game. He will be joined on the bench by the likes of Steven Davies, James Meredith, Mark Marshall and Paul Anderson.
