Graham Alexander’s Bantams have enjoyed a stunning start to the season, ascending to the top of the League One table with six wins, two draws and one defeat across their opening nine games.

Going up against a star-studded Newcastle side will not be easy, but Bradford have momentum behind them and confidence flowing through their squad.

They are also no strangers to big occasions and faced Birmingham City in the semi-finals of the EFL Trophy last season.

Alexander said: "We knew we'd played well and pushed them right to the end, but there was still a disappointment that we'd got knocked out of the semi-final.

"But it's how you handle yourselves and compete because that's the one thing you can guarantee. You can't guarantee results, but you can with effort, body language and decisions. You don't want to look back and regret."
