Unsurprisingly given their creditable display at Notts County seven days earlier, City boss Phil Parkinson has stuck with the same starting eleven that took to the field at Meadow Lane last Saturday.
New signings Zavon Hines and Carl McHugh are named among City's substitutes for their League 2 opener at the Priestfield Stadium.
Andrew Davies is also included among the Bantams' options from the bench after recovering from a thigh problem, although Ritchie Jones didn't travel after turning his ankle in training on Friday.
