The Bantams return to Papa John’s Trophy action tomorrow evening - with a 7.30pm visit of fellow Sky Bet League Two side Oldham Athletic - at the Utilita Energy Stadium.
The Latics sit top of Northern Group F, picking up two victories from their opening two games - against Doncaster Rovers and Wolverhampton Wanderers Under-21s respectively.
Three points against the Lancashire outfit would all but secure Stuart McCall's side - which currently sit second on goal difference - progression through to the next round.
We have put together a Big Match Preview full of all the information you need ahead of the encounter.
