Gary Liddle set to continue in midfield for Bradford

Bradford midfielder Billy Knott is still struggling with a knee injury for the visit of Blackpool so Gary Liddle is expected to continue alongside Lee Evans in central midfield.

Striker Billy Clarke (knee) stepped off the bench during Saturday's goalless draw at Millwall for his first appearance since August and will be hoping to play a bigger part.

Josh Morris could be named among the substitutes after recovering from his knee injury. The midfielder travelled with the squad to Millwall but was not involved.

Defender Tony McMahon (calf) and winger Kyel Reid (tonsilitis) both returned to action at the weekend, but Steven Davies, Paul Anderson and Filipe Morais (all knee) are long-term absentees.

Blackpool's teenage winger Bright Osayi-Samuel remains doubtful for the trip to Yorkshire.

Osayi-Samuel missed Saturday's defeat at Bury due to a knock and if he fails to make it Emmerson Boyce is expected to retain his place in the starting XI.

Striker Martin Paterson came off the bench at Bury after missing the previous three games due to a hamstring strain and is pushing for a start.

Boss Neil McDonald has no major new injury concerns and, Osayi-Samuel apart, could select from a full-strength squad.
