Bradford could give a debut to on-loan Luke Oliver after he was an unused substitute for Saturday's 2-1 win at Rotherham after signing from Wycombe.
Zesh Rehman (calf) is out, while Gavin Grant (ankle) is a doubt.
Port Vale assistant manager Geoff Horsfield told BBC Radio Stoke:
"Bradford have signed a couple of players on loan and Peter Taylor's freshened things up.
"They'll be up for it and we've got to get at them and get in their faces.
"We want a home win and hopefully we can get the three points."
