Sky Bet League 1
Bradford City vs Preston North End
Kick Off: 7.45pm
at the Coral Windows Stadium
He's back!
After nearly four months on the sidelines with a serious knee injury, influential defender Andrew Davies returns to City's starting eleven for the home fixture with Preston North End.
Davies will partner Rory McArdle in central defence, meaning Matthew Bates will start the game at left back.
Recent loan signings Kyle Bennett and Adam Reach will begin the match from the right and left wings respectively while Aaron Mclean is also included in the side for his home debut as a City player.
Fellow new recruit, Chris Atkinson, has been named on the bench.
