Stuart McCall's Bantams welcome Sky Bet League Two side Chesterfield to the Northern Commercials Stadium this Saturday (4 November 2017) for their Emirates FA Cup first round tie.
With 45 places between the two sides going into the cup encounter, City will be favourites to progress into next Monday's second round draw.
McCall's men will be wary of an upset, however, after losing out to another League Two team - Accrington Stanley - at the first round stage last season.
City and Chesterfield have already met once before this season, with the Bantams running out 4-2 to winners in a Checkatrade Trophy group game at the Proact Stadium back in August.
Since that game, Chesterfield have replaced Gary Caldwell with former striker Jack Lester as their new manager.
Lester and McCall have previously worked together when the pair were at Sheffield United in the early 2000s.
