Carlisle
Following the EFL Trophy loss to Newcastle United U21, Bradford City will look to return to winning ways in League Two when they take on Carlisle United on Matchday 5. The Bantams are eager to climb to the playoffs berth and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Cumbrians. As Aiden Baldwin has yet to overcome his injury, Jack Shepherd is widely expected to start in Saturday’s game.
The Cumbrians, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their poor displays in back-to-back losses to MK Dons and Tranmere, home win should definitely be considered. In their last meeting at Valley Parade Bradford City defeated Carlisle United 1-0, with Jamie Walker scoring the only goal of the match. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to West Yorkshire.
