Blackpool v Bradford preview
Friday 6 April 2018 13:05, UK
Mark Cullen will continue his comeback for Blackpool after a seven-month lay-off.
The forward had a brief cameo from the bench against Oldham, his first action since August, and should feature again against Bradford.
Gary Bowyer's side are winless in four games and the likes of Armand Gnanduillet and Sean Longstaff may be recalled in pursuit of three points. Striker Danny Philliskirk is vulnerable after 13 games without a goal.
The Bantams will once again be without their own striker Paul Taylor. He has missed the last four matches and boss Simon Grayson said "personal issues" would continue to keep him on the sidelines.
Grayson needs to find an answer up front after just two goals in his six games at the helm. Shay McCartan, Omari Patrick and Joel Grodowski are all options after starting on the bench last time out, with Charlie Wyke and Dominic Poleon the men in possession.
