Bradford City are ready to welcome Port Vale to Coral Windows Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bantams are clearly on top, having won 27 and lost only 6 of the 44 games.

The previous match played between the two at Coral Windows Stadium was within the last three years, in September 2006, with Bradford City running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a League One match.
