Bradford City vs Colchester United
Bradford City vs Colchester United
Kick Off: 3.00pm
at the Coral Windows Stadium
Despite some pre-match doubts over the softness of the pitch, this Saturday's match at home to Colchester United has been given the green light to go ahead.
With the match now scheduled as normal to take place, Parkinson has stuck largely with the same starting eleven that begun last weekend's memorable F.A Cup tie at Chelsea.
The only change in City's line up sees Jordan Pickford return in goal at the expense of Ben Williams.
After returning from a knee injury last weekend at Stamford Bridge, Billy Clarke is once again named on the bench for the Bantams.
