Following his goal-scoring debut against Port Vale at the weekend, new City striker Jamie Proctor has been handed his first start on home soil for the visit of Yorkshire neighbours Barnsley to the Coral Windows Stadium.
While Proctor keeps his place in City's starting XI from Vale Park, Bantams boss Phil Parkinson has made made three changes to his side from Saturday.
With Lee Evans suspended, Christopher Routis returns to take the Welshman's place in central midfield.
Wingers Mark Marshall have also been brought into the team at the expense of Kyel Reid and Gary Liddle, meaning Tony McMahon is likely to move across to partner Routis in the middle.
After two games out with a calf problem, James Hanson is fit enough for a place on the bench. Despite going for checks on a knee injury, Kyel Reid is also named among City's substitutes.
