Kick Off: 3.00pm
Bradford City vs Southend United
npower League 2
(Good) Friday 29 March 2013
Following the victory over Wycombe Wanderers last time out, Bantams boss Phil Parkinson has unsurprisingly stuck with the same eleven that began the game ten days ago.
That means a place for Ricky Ravenhill, who has shaken off a knock to his shin picked up in the Wycombe match, and another starting berth James Meredith following his recent return from glandular fever.
City's bench remains the same from the Wycombe match as well, with Nahki Wells, Alan Connell and Will Atkinson among some of the options available to Parkinson.
