Bulls v City Reds: Teams

Sykes: Back from injury

Bradford will have utility-back Paul Sykes and scrum-half Marc Herbert back from injury for their clash with Salford.

Both players have been out of action for the vast majority of May with hamstring injuries but are set return to the side on Sunday.

However the Bulls will have to cope without winger Gareth Raynor, who begins a two-match suspension after his sending off in the Challenge Cup defeat to Wigan last time out.

The Bulls suffered a humiliating 56-16 loss when they visited the Willows earlier in the season and coach Mick Potter is keen to make up for that performance.

"I suppose it's a motivating factor because we were embarrassed when we went there," he told Bradford's official website.

"We conceded 50 points and that's not a good feeling for any professional and I would assume they won't want that feeling again this week.

Solid

"Salford have had some very good results this season, some solid performances but they have also had some performances that they will know are not the best.

"They have some very good players there that can cause us problems and we will have to contain the likes of Holdsworth, Smith, Ratchford and Patten.

"They are key players for them and play with a great deal of flamboyancy and they have a hard working pack which we will have to contain if we are to kick on."

Mark Henry returns to the Salford squad after a month out with injury, with youngster Adam Clay included in the 19-man squad but likely to make way for the Australian back.

Former Bradford hooker Wayne Godwin misses the chance to go up against his old club as he is not yet ready to return from a shoulder injury. Mark Sneyd continues in his place.

The Reds are currently one point ahead of Bradford in the Super League standings but have lost five out of their last seven matches in the competition.

Bradford squad: Ah Van, Briggs, Burgess, Crookes, Diskin, Elima, Hargreaves, Herbert, Jeffries, Kopczak, Langley, L'Estrange, Lynch, Olbison, Platt, Royston, Sibbit, Sykes, Whitehead.

Salford squad: Patten, Broughton, Nero, Jewitt, Clay, Ratchford, Holdsworth, Cashmere, Henry, Boyle, Neal, L. Adamson, Anderson, Smith, Sneyd, Gleeson, Sidlow, Paleaaesina, Wild.
