The Bantams will make their entrance in this season's Emirates FA Cup this Saturday when they welcome Sky Bet League Two side Accrington Stanley to the Northern Commercials Stadium.
The match will, of course, be City's second encounter with Accrington this campaign having lost out to the Lancashire side on penalties in August following an action-packed EFL Cup tie at the Wham Stadium.
After narrowly missing out on promotion up into League One last season, John Coleman's side currently find themselves two points and two places outside the play-offs following a 3-1 home loss to Newport County last weekend.
Team News
Bradford City
Loan duo Jordy Hiwula and Haris Vuckic are in line to feature on Saturday after being given permission by their parent clubs to represent the Bantams in this season's Emirates FA Cup.
Fellow loanees Josh Cullen and Marc McNulty won't be involved this weekend, however.
Full backs Tony McMahon (thigh) and James Meredith (ankle) will be assessed pre-match to see if they have any chance of taking part following recent injury.
City boss Stuart McCall has hinted that he could use Saturday's tie as an opportunity to make changes to his side, with the likes of Filipe Morais, Daniel Devine and Mark Marshall all in contention for starting berths.
Accrington Stanley
Like City, Accrington may also make alterations to their starting line up for the match.
Goalkeeper Aaron Chapman, who featured in the penalty shoot-out between City and Accrington back in August, could possibly replace regular custodian Elliot Parish between the sticks for Stanley.
Experienced forward Gary Taylor-Fletcher is likely to also get the nod to start for the visitors at Valley Parade.
Stanley will be hoping to be able to call upon fellow striker Billy Kee after the 25 year-old missed Accrington's last three games.
Former Bantams midfielder Patrick Lacey could be on the bench for Accrington. The Liverpudlian, now 23, enjoyed a brief spell with City back in 2011.
Accrington defender Matty Pearson, once of FC Halifax Town, was born in nearby Keighley.
Pearson has already played against City in the FA Cup once before when the Bantams defeated Halifax 2-1 at The Shay in the first round back in 2014.
He could be partnered in central defence at Valley Parade by Omar Beckles. The centre half played against City in the FA Cup first round last season for previous club Aldershot Town.
