Bournemouth v Bradford City: City ready to heap pressure on Cherries

PETER TAYLOR believes the pressure on promotion-chasing Bournemouth could help Bradford City.

The Bantams take on a Cherries side sitting third in the table, two points ahead of nearest challengers Rotherham United.

With second-placed Notts County just one point ahead of Bournemouth and runaway leaders Rochdale all but promoted, it means a trio of clubs are chasing the final two automatic promotion places.

Taylor believes that may help City spring a surprise. "Bournemouth are a good team and have been up there all season. The manager has built a good spirit down there and it will be tough.

"But the pressure is on them and that may help us. It is a good pitch and the atmosphere should be good so we will have to be at our best."

Bradford could be without five first-team regulars.
