Barnet v Bradford preview

Image: Furlong: Suspended

Barnet will be without Paul Furlong, while Bradford are expected to start with three central midfielders.

Veteran Bees striker suspended for visit of Bantams

Barnet will be without veteran striker Paul Furlong for the clash against in-form Bradford at Underhill. Furlong, who turns 41 next month, has played every minute of the Bees' league campaign this season but will finally be forced into a rest as he serves a one-match ban for picking up five yellow cards. That will see Jake Hyde partner John O'Flynn in attack as Ian Hendon's side look for a third home win of the season to keep the pressure on at the top of League Two. Hendon is likely to restrict winger Albert Adomah to the bench after he broke his nose at Macclesfield last weekend. The winger is set to have the fracture re-set in hospital on Monday so Albert Jarrett will start in his place. Defender Dan Leach is back in training after an ankle injury but assistant manager Gary Breen is still not fit to return from his knee problem.

Bantams news

Bradford manager Stuart McCall is expected to change his formation and start with three central midfielders at Underhill. The Bantams boss has no new injury or suspension worries while several players have shaken off various illnesses, including defender Matt Clarke (tonsillitis) and Michael Boulding (virus). Chris Brandon could make way for James O'Brien in midfield if McCall opts to switch his system and Boulding is likely to start on the substitutes' bench again with James Hanson resuming his partnership with Gareth Evans up front. Peter Thorne, who has missed the last five matches, is not ready to return following a groin injury and Steven O'Leary is nursing a broken toe. The Bantams have won their last three matches on the road, at Cheltenham, Shrewsbury and Rochdale in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, and are unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions.
