TEAM NEWS
City: Stuart McCall will be without midfielder Levi Sutton, who serves the first of his three-match suspension following a dismissal at Barrow over the weekend.
Zeli Ismail is still expected to miss out with a hamstring injury, though Lee Novak could pass a late fitness test.
Gareth Evans is also in the running to return to the side having been ruled out for the past three weeks with a hamstring injury of his own.
Southend: Ex-Bantam Timothee Dieng is in line to once again start against his former side, having signed for the Shrimpers in 2018.
Dieng is expected to start in midfield alongside Kyle Taylor in midfield, with Tottenham Hotspur loanee Kazaiah Sterling set to line up in attack.
WHAT THE MANAGERS SAID
McCall: “We have got to make sure we stop the rut on Tuesday night and need to put in a performance where we are creative, energetic and clinical.
“We look forward to the game, it is a quick turnaround and a chance to put things right.
“We need a performance with confidence and belief. Even though we have lost three on the bounce, I believe we can put in a good performance and get this season up and running.”
Molesley: “Everyone is feeling pressure at the moment - not just in football but in the world as a whole.
“Football is a pressure environment, and we have to deal with it, stand up and be counted.
“We need to get over this quickly and need to go to Bradford and show that fighting spirit.”
