The Bantams are not in action this coming weekend due to their elimination from the FA Cup. They return to league duties on Saturday week when they visit league leaders Leyton Orient.

The game has been brought forward to a 12.30pm kick-off to avoid any potential scheduling clashes with an England World Cup fixture.
