Is Leyton Orient v Bradford City on TV? Channel and streaming details for Carabao Cup meeting
The key TV and streaming details ahead of Bradford City’s trip to Leyton Orient
Bradford City are due to visit Leyton Orient in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Graham Alexander’s men have made a mixed start to the League One season, winning three and losing two, but sit fourth in the table. Back-to-back defeats had sparked some frustration, but a 1-0 win over Mansfield Town at the weekend has settled the mood down.
Attention is set to turn to the Carabao Cup, with a trip to Orient on the agenda for the Bantams. It is a competition that is not often a priority for EFL clubs, yet Alexander is determined to see his side progress.
He said: “I know it stretches us physically and probably financially with the journeys and stuff like that, but we're in the game to win and I want all my players to have that feeling that they all got against Burnley.
“It’s why we're always strong in our cup competitions. We take them all seriously, every single game, because the more games we have, the better it is for the squad.
“Last year, we felt the value of that. The year before, when we got to the EFL Trophy semi-finals and we're constantly changing the team, it keeps the squad alive, it keeps them together, it keeps them all feeling valuable.”
Here are the key TV and streaming details as Bradford prepare to do battle with Orient.
