Preview

After starting the new season with three straight victories and a penalty shoot-out triumph over Burnley in the cup, Bradford have stalled. The Bantams have suffered back-to-back defeats against Plymouth and Cambridge, but will hope to get back on track on Saturday.

Mansfield weren't able to carry any momentum over from their 5-2 win over Luton in gameweek three as they were hammered 5-0 by a Jack Marriott-inspired Reading side on Wednesday. The Stags have lost three of their last four competitive fixtures.
