United come into the game following a 3-0 away win at Northampton Town last weekend, which saw them climb up to fourth in the League One table. It was also Scunthorpe’s fourth League One win in a row.
The Bantams had a boost of their own though, winning 2-1 away at second-placed Wigan Athletic through a stoppage time goal. That result moved City up to third.
TEAM NEWS…
Iron manager Graham Alexander has confirmed no fresh injury worries ahead of the clash at the Northern Commercials Stadium.
Josh Morris and Simon Church (both hamstring) are closest to a return and will be assessed ahead of the game, but it might come too soon.
Elsewhere, Sam Mantom (groin), Luke Williams (hamstring) and Jonathon Margetts (knee) will continue to miss out.
PAST MEETINGS…
United defeated the Bantams 3-2 at Glanford Park in March earlier this year. Ivan Toney netted a brace before Matt Crooks headed in a late winner in front of the live Sky TV cameras.
