Bantams boss Stuart McCall has made four changes to his side for the visit of Chesterfield to the Northern Commercials Stadium in the Emirates FA Cup this Saturday.

Following last weekend's win at Portsmouth, McCall has brought Nathaniel Knight-Percival, Alex Jones, Timothee Dieng and Luke Hendrie back into his side for the first round encounter with the Spireites.

With City denied permission to play loanee defender Tom Field in Saturday's tie, Knight-Percival, who missed the Portsmouth win due to suspension, is set to play at left back.

Hendrie will replace the suspended Tony McMahon in the other full back position.

Along with Hendrie, fellow loan players Alex Gilliead and Adam Thompson have also been cleared to play for City in the FA Cup this season.

Jake Reeves has been rested due to a minor hip problem, meaning Dieng will partner fellow Frenchman Romain Vincelot in central midfield.

Paul Taylor keeps his place in City's starting XI but the Liverpudlian is expected to begin in a wide position this afternoon, clearing the way for Jones to start up front together with Charlie Wyke.

Nicky Law is fit enough for a place on the bench after recovering from a spot of illness earlier in the week.

Dominic Poleon is also among City's list of substitutes for the Chesterfield tie following a recent spell out with a hamstring problem.
