Sky Bet League 1
Leyton Orient vs Bradford City
Kick Off: 3.00pm
at the Matchroom Stadium
Fresh from completing his loan move to City on Thursday, Jon Stead has been handed his first Bradford start by Bantams boss Phil Parkinson.
With James Hanson (back) and Andy Gray (shingles) ruled out, Stead will partner Aaron Mclean in attack at Leyton Orient.
Along with Stead's inclusion, Matthew Dolan comes back into the side in central midfield at the expense of Matthew Bates. Nathan Doyle hasn't travelled to London due to a groin problem.
With Chris Atkinson and Arron Jameson not included due to the five loanees in City's starting line up, apprentices Jack Bentley and Jack Stockdill make the bench at the Matchroom Stadium.
