In what has the potential to be a pre-Christmas cracker, two of the fourth tier’s Yorkshire sides will go head-to-head at the Eco-Power Stadium. It is a clash of two sides who have not lived up to expectations this term, but Bradford do appear to be turning a corner.

Form has picked up at Valley Parade following an initially underwhelming start to life under Graham Alexander. Doncaster, on the other hand, were on the receiving end of a 5-0 battering last weekend and have a slew of injuries.

Five points separate the sides, with Bradford sat in 14th and Doncaster languishing in 19th. Here are all the key details ahead of the meeting between the Yorkshire outfits.
