Port Vale
Bradford
- Leon Legge came off the bench in the 5-0 EFL Trophy victory over Liverpool, after 10 weeks out and the veteran centre-back's return is welcomed, although Darrell Clarke is unlikely to drop Lewis Cass, Nathan Smith or Dan Jones just now.
- If Clarke opts for a 3-4-3, he will have the luxury of being able to bring a midfielder like Jake Taylor or Ben Garrity off the bench, but if it's 3-5-2 then Dennis Politic could be the potential game-changer in reserve.
- Yann Songo'o was excellent against Forest Green and may protect the defence at times, but at other times drop between Paudie O'Connor and Niall Canavan, especially when the Bantams are under the cosh.
- Front-man Andy Cook is absent with a hamstring injury, so Lee Angol's return is timely; forwards Abo Eisa and Caolan Lavery are also injured.
- Left-back Liam Ridehalgh remains sidelined, but Matty Foulds has been putting in some combative performances in his absence.
Port vale are in great form especially at home.3-1
