The Bantams will continue their Sky Bet League Two campaign at the Utilita Energy Stadium against Rochdale on Saturday afternoon (3.00pm).
City have lost just one of their last five league meetings with the Dale and the clash will be the first between the two sides since 2018.
We have created a Big Match Preview to give you all the key details you need to know, heading into the encounter.
TEAM NEWS
City: The Bantams are likely to have Charles Vernam available for selection once again following his return to training this week.
Derek Adams will still be without Lee Angol, Abo Eisa, Theo Robinson, Caolan Lavery and club captain Niall Canavan.
Rochdale: The Dale are set to visit the Utilita Energy Stadium with a full squad available for selection.
No injuries were suffered in their clash with local rivals Oldham Athletic last weekend - prior to which manager Robbie Stockdale declared he had a fully-fit squad at his disposal.
WHAT THE MANAGERS SAID
Derek Adams: “We understand what Rochdale are trying to do. We have played teams who use a back three a number of times this season.
“We know the strengths of the system and we understand the weaknesses.
“They are a side which has transformed from last season to this season, and they try to play in a way which will get them into the play-offs.
“They have done the same as us: won three, drawn three and lost three this season, and they sit just above us in the table.”
Robbie Stockdale: “We will use the pain of the Oldham defeat to put it right.
“We accept where Bradford's strengths are and highlight weaknesses that we can exploit.
“I am asking the players to embrace the challenge and put on a good performance.
“If we get the performance right, it gives us a great chance to get something out of the game.”
