vs PETERBOROUGH UNITED (HOME), Saturday 4 March 2017, Sky Bet League One, Northern Commercials Stadium, kick off 3:00pm
Following Tuesday's entertaining 2-2 home draw with Milton Keynes Dons, Stuart McCall's Bantams return to action this Saturday in Sky Bet League One at the Northern Commercials Stadium against Peterborough United.
The Peterborough match is City's first fixture in March, meaning there is now just two months of the regular season to go.
City's midweek point against MK Dons kept them in fifth place in the League One table, while Peterborough are currently positioned eighth in the division following a 1-0 loss at Millwall.
The Millwall defeat on Tuesday night means Peterborough are sixth points behind McCall's men with both sides having eleven games left to play.

Previous Encounters
City came out 1-0 winners from the first encounter between the two sides this season at Peterborough's ABAX Stadium.
Jordy Hiwula's first half winner proved enough to secure the Bantams' first win of the 16/17 campaign last August.
Peterborough have secured victory on their two most recent trips to the Northern Commercials Stadium, however.
Goals from Lee Angol and Chris Forrester in quick succession towards the start of the second half saw Peterborough pick up a 2-0 victory in last season's home encounter.
The Posh were also victorious at Valley Parade towards the start of the 14/15 campaign - Kyle Vassell netting the only goal for a 1-0 Peterborough win.
City's most recent home victory over Peterborough came just four months earlier though.
A fantastic first half free-kick from Adam Reach, who was loan to City from Middlesbrough at the time, proved enough to claim a 1-0 success for the Bantams on Good Friday 2014.

Manager's View
Stuart McCall - "We know they have good players within their squad and it will be another challenging fixture, but we are happy with the way we are playing at the moment. We have to concentrate on ourselves and look to turn these one pointers at home into all three points."
Grant McCann - "Bradford don't get beat often at home but we have to go there and try to find a way. We will go there in a positive frame of mind. They try to move you around and open you up - they have players who can hurt you."
