After recent matches in the Emirates FA Cup and Checkatrade Trophy, Stuart McCall's Bantams return to league action this Saturday (9 December 2017) when they entertain Rochdale in Sky Bet League One.
The match will be City's third at the Northern Commercials Stadium in just eight days following cup ties against Plymouth Argyle and Oldham Athletic.
The Rochdale encounter will also be City's last home fixture ahead of Christmas Day.
Saturday's game - City's first league fixture of December - comes after the Bantams tasted success in their previous League One match at Shrewsbury Town towards the end of last month.
Opponents Rochdale head to the Northern Commercials Stadium currently positioned just outside the relegation zone after a difficult first half of the season.
With Dale - a side who just missed out on the play-offs last season - looking to push up the table, Keith Hill's side defeated Peterborough United in their most recent league game and ran Charlton Athletic close in their previous away league fixture.
Team News
Bradford City
Bantams boss Stuart McCall sadly has a number of fitness concerns heading into Saturday's match.
With Colin Doyle, Adam Chicksen and Alex Jones definitely ruled out, McCall admits he also has a couple of players, including Jake Reeves, doubtful for the Rochdale clash due to knocks.
Reeves tweaked his groin during last Saturday's Emirates FA Cup victory over Plymouth.
On top of that, McCall has revealed that there is currently a spot of illness around in the camp, with two players being sent home from training as a precaution this Thursday.
Timothee Dieng has stepped up his recovery from a hamstring problem but this Saturday's fixture is expected to come a little too soon for him.
Rochdale
Attacker Matt Done could be in line for a return to Dale's starting XI after coming off the bench to score in last Monday's FA Cup win at Slough.
Defender Jim McNulty could also earn a recall after missing Dale's 4-0 victory over the non-league side through suspension.
Academy graduate Matthew Gillam will be aiming for another starting appearance after the attacker scored on his full league debut at Charlton recently.
Manager Keith Hill, who recently celebrated his 500th game in charge of Rochdale, is still expected to be without Keith Keane due to surgery.
Former Bantams striker Steven Davies is likely to begin Saturday's game from the bench.
