Team News

Bradford
Port Vale
  • Mark Trueman and Conor Sellars could name the same XI that finished Boxing Day's 1-0 win at Tranmere.
  • Winger Zeli Ismail is out for three months while Ben Richards-Everton is a doubt.
  • James Gibbons has a hamstring injury, but Zak Mills has started at right-back recently ahead of Mitch Clark.

Prediction

  • Home form is something the new Bradford City boss will want to correct, with the Bantams accruing just three wins in 10 league games this season in West Yorkshire, scoring only 10 goals - but there has been a drastic improvement in performances under the interim guidance Mark Trueman and Conor Sellars.
  • Port Vale, meanwhile, are yet to draw an away game this season, having won four and lost five of their jaunts away from Burslem, scoring an impressive 17 goals in that time but shipping 15.
  • Vale boss John Askey has come under pressure after recent results but Kevin and Carol Shanahan are reasonable owners who will give the former Macclesfield manager a fair opportunity to get his current side into the Play-Off conversation.
