Midfielders Lee Crooks and Paul Tierney could return to the squad now that both players are recovering from their hamstring problems.
Nothing but victory will be good enough for Colin Todd against a team who beat the Bantams 2-1 on the opening day of the season.
City squad (probable): Henderson, Emanuel, Wetherall, Bower, Atherton, Schumacher, Muirhead, Bridge-Wilkinson, Summerbee, Cooke, Windass, Ricketts, Forrest, Morrison, Crooks, Swift.
