Bradford will be without suspended winger Omar Daley for the clash at Macclesfield
Speedy winger must serve one-match ban
Bradford will be without suspended winger Omar Daley for the clash at Macclesfield.
Daley will sit out a one-game ban after reaching five yellow cards for the season, with Joe Colbeck expected to start in his place.
Bantams manager Stuart McCall will also be without striker Eddie Johnson, who is still struggling with a gashed ankle.
McCall must decide whether to retain Willy Topp alongside Peter Thorne in attack or recall Barry Conlon, who scored after coming off the bench in the midweek win over Shrewsbury.
Defender Mark Bower remains sidelined following knee surgery, while on-loan Fulham defender TJ Moncur could make the bench.
Goalkeeper Scott Loach, on loan from Watford, will retain his place in the starting line-up despite the collapse of Donovan Rickett's expected move to QPR.
Macclesfield news
Macclesfield boss Ian Brightwell could again name an unchanged side for the visit of Bradford.
Brightwell has named the same starting XI for the past two games and has been rewarded with positive results.
The Silkmen followed their shock 1-0 win at Peterborough with creditable draws at Darlington and MK Dons respectively during the past week.
Jamie Ashmore will continue in the centre of the park after extending his loan deal from Sheffield United until the end of the season.
Martin Gritton again looks set to partner on-loan Shrewsbury forward Michael Symes in attack, with fit-again Francis Green set to continue on the bench after a recent hip injury.
Gritton sustained a slight back strain against MK Dons in midweek but is expected to be passed fit to retain his place. However, Jamie Tolley (hamstring) and Richard Edghill (calf) are again expected to be missing along with Tommy Lee (fractured hand).
