F.A Cup Fifth Round
Bradford City vs Sunderland
Kick Off: 2.30pm
at the Coral Windows Stadium
For City's sold out F.A Cup Fifth Round tie with Sunderland, Bantams boss Phil Parkinson has stuck with the largely the same eleven that began Monday's win over Milton Keynes Dons in Sky Bet League 1.
That means Billy Clarke keeps his place in Parkinson's side as City's 'number ten' just behind the front two of Jon Stead and James Hanson. Andrew Davies is also included after shaking off a minor knee injury picked up during the MK Dons match.
The only change to the Bantams' line up is an enforced one, with Ben Williams once again coming in for an F.A Cup tie given Jordan Pickford's ineligibility.
