Two new strikers for Glovers

Yeovil will involve their two new forwards when they host Bradford.

The Glovers, six points adrift of safety at the foot of the League One table, have borrowed Norwich striker Jamar Loza and signed former Reading forward Gozie Ugwu on a free transfer to boost their attacking options.

And the pair will both feature in the matchday squad as Gary Johnson looks for his team to end their run of three matches without a goal in all competitions.

They will be without suspended defender Ben Nugent, who saw red in their 2-0 loss at Barnsley last weekend.

Bradford's on-loan Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford will return to contention.

Pickford sat out the midweek win against Millwall through suspension following his dismissal in last week's home defeat to Rochdale, but did not have permission to play in the FA Cup replay anyway. He is expected to replace Ben Williams.

Striker Billy Clarke has missed the last five games due to a knee injury and could return to contention after failing to make it on Wednesday night, while defender Andrew Davies came through the full 90 minutes against Millwall unscathed after returning from a hamstring injury.

Boss Phil Parkinson has no major new injury worries, but could be tempted to make one or two changes as his team prepares for a third game in a week.
