New loan signing Wes Thomas will begin this Saturday's match with Fleetwood Town from the bench, as Bantams boss Phil Parkinson makes three changes to his starting line up.
With Reece Burke and Billy Clarke sidelined through injury, Nathan Clarke and James Hanson have been brought back into the side at centre back and centre forward respectively.
Parkinson's third alteration from the team that started Tuesday's match with Barnsley sees Jamie Proctor, who is ineligible to play against his parent club, replaced by Billy Knott.
Recalled back into the side, Knott is expected to line up just behind Hanson in an attacking role.
Recent recruit Thomas will be joined on the bench by fellow attacking players Kyel Reid and Steven Davies. Young striker Reece Webb-Foster, who signed his first professional contract earlier this season, is also among City's substitutes.
