Sky Bet League 1
Bradford City vs Preston North End
Kick Off: 3.00pm
at the Coral Windows Stadium
Bantams boss Phil Parkinson has recalled the duo of Christopher Routis and Jon Stead for the visit of Preston North End to the Coral Windows Stadium this Easter Monday.
Despite Mark Yeates being declared fit by Parkinson after damaging his shoulder at Doncaster Rovers on Friday, the Irishman moves down to the bench to accommodate Stead's return to the side.
With Gary MacKenzie ruled out due to an ankle problem picked up when he scored the opener at Doncaster, Routis will partner Rory McArdle in central defence after being brought back into the starting eleven.
