Bantams boss David Hopkin has named an unchanged team for this Wednesday's eagerly-anticipated Boxing Day fixture with promotion-chasing Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
With a record-breaking crowd for League One expected on Wearside this afternoon for the festive encounter, Hopkin has stuck with the same side that began Saturday's home victory over Scunthorpe United.
After missing the Scunthorpe win due to a very deep gash on his foot, defender Anthony O'Connor has been deemed fit enough for a place on the bench against the Black Cats.
Kelvin Mellor still remains sidelined with a knee injury.
