Sky Bet League 1
Bradford City vs Swindon Town
Kick Off: 3.00pm
at the Coral Windows Stadium
Influential striker James Hanson makes a welcome return to City's starting line up as part of three changes made by Bantams boss Phil Parkinson from the eleven that begun the Boxing Day fixture with Rotherham United.
Hanson takes the place of Oliver McBurnie in attack, meaning the giant striker will once again join up with Nahki Wells to form City's forward pairing.
With Carl McHugh retaining his place in the side, the returning Rory McArdle comes back into the team for Matthew Bates after missing the Rotherham game through suspension.
Parkinson's third and final change sees Ricky Ravenhill replace Nathan Doyle in central midfield.
Doyle, Bates and McBurnie all move down to the bench where they will be joined by young striker Lewis Clarkson for his first involvement in a match-day squad since arriving from Scarborough Athletic.
