Bradford
Port Vale take on Bradford at home tonight in a must win game for the Valiants. They will be in search of three points following Saturday's disappointing defeat at hoome to Northampton.
Bradford sit 16th in League Two. Three points and three places below the Valiants in 13th, but they will be hoping it won't prove unlucky this evening.
In the League, the last time these two sides met was in August and it ended in stalemate between the two with a 0-0 draw.
Vale travelled back up to Valley Parade in November for a Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie only to bow out on penalties, followed by a supporters who took advantage of the free coaches put on by shirt sponsors Harlequin.
Peter Taylor will be without major threats Chris Brandon and Peter Thorne who both currently find themselves in the reserves, which will be disappointing for Vale fans who won't be able to take out any frustrations on former Stoke star Thorne.
Bradford have won eight on the road so far this season with their latest victory coming at the Don Valley Stadium with a 2-1 win over Rotherham on Saturday.
Micky Adams may well make a few changes following Saturday's defeat. Whether goalkeeper Joe Anyon keeps his place will remain to be seen following his mistake at the weekend and Chris Martin will be chomping at the bit to get his shirt back.
Doug Loft will be hoping he has done enough to keep his place following two goals in two games for the former Brighton star.
Adam Yates looks set to keep his place and remains the one steady character after Vale's inconsistent form.
So Vale will be hoping they can give the home crowd something to cheer about once again.
