The Bantams continue their 2020/21 Sky Bet League Two campaign at the Utilita Energy Stadium - with a 3.00pm visit of Stevenage on Saturday September 26 (3.00pm).
City made a strong start to the 2020/21 season with a 2-1 victory at Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup, however Stuart McCall’s side are still on the search for their first three points of the season, after drawing 0-0 with Colchester United and 2-2 with Forest Green Rovers.
The Boro finished 24th in the table last season, though kept their place in the EFL after Macclesfield Town's points deduction.
However, the Hertfordshire side have made a promising start to the 2020/21 season by grabbing four points from a possible six.

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAID
Stuart McCall: "Stevenage have had a good start to the season, with four points out of six in the league.
"I have a lot of respect for their manager, Alex Revell, who has done a good job since arriving there.
"They will certainly be in a good space and will be coming a lot different to how they did when we beat them last season, and they were struggling.
"They have a much-changed squad and a different manager, so we are expecting a completely different challenge."
LAST TIME OUT
The last time these two sides met was on Saturday February 11, with City coming out on top at the Utilita Energy Stadium - in Stuart McCall's second game back in charge.
