STATE OF PLAY...
During the week, United confirmed their spot in the play-offs with an assured 2-0 victory over seventh-placed Plymouth in front of the Sky cameras.

A great solo strike from Hakeeb Adelakun in the first-half got the Iron on their way, before striker Ivan Toney flicked home a second after half-time. 

The opponents Bradford, meanwhile, drew 1-1 in the week at home to Walsall. An equaliser from Matty Lund on the stroke of half-time meant the two sides shared the points.

TEAM NEWS…
There are no fresh injury concerns to the Iron ahead of the match.

Although, it remains the same for Luke Williams (hamstring) and Jonathan Margetts (knee) who are both still absent.

PAST MEETINGS...
United were 2-1 winners at Bradford City earlier this season, with Cameron Burgess and Hakeeb Adelakun scoring in the November victory.
