Bradford City prepare to entertain Colchester United at The Bradford & Bingley Stadium on Tuesday evening,

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Bradford & Bingley Stadium was less than a year ago, in November 2004, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League One match.
