Following their relegation last season, Bradford City have made a promising start to their new campaign in League Two.

The Bantams are currently eighth in the table, but are just three points outside the automatic promotion places.

Gary Bowyer's side have won three of their last five league games, but they were held to a 1-1 draw at ten-man Scunthorpe United last weekend.

Bradford will be looking to get back to winning ways and continue their promotion push with three points this weekend, but they face a tough game against fifth-placed Swindon Town at Valley Parade.

Richie Wellens' side have made a strong start to the season, although they have lost two of their last three league matches.

Bradford have won three out of their five home league matches this season and will surley fancy their chances of coming away from Valley Parade with all three points, which would see them move above their opponents in the table.

Here is the Bradford team we expect Bowyer to field against Swindon tomorrow...

Richard O'Donnell has started every league game for Bradford in goal this season. He will start between the sticks tomorrow and will be hoping for his fifth clean sheet of the campaign.

Bowyer is likely keep faith with the same back four that he used against Scunthorpe. Kelvin Mellor will start at right-back, with Connor Wood at left-back.

Ben Richards-Everton remains suspended following his red card against Carlisle United, so Anthony O'Connor is likely to keep his place in the side. He will start alongside Paudie O'Connor at centre-back.

Moving into midfield, Bowyer will be forced to make a change. Harry Pritchard will start on the left, with Dylan Connolly on the right.

Callum Cooke is likely to keep his place in central midfield, although the experienced Matt Palmer is set for a spell on the sidelines after picking up a knee injury in the draw at Scunthorpe last week.

Hope Akpan replaced Palmer at Glanford Park last week and there's a good chance that the Nigerian could replace him in the starting line-up tomorrow, for his first start for six league matches.

Up front, captain James Vaughan is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Scunthorpe, so Shay McCartan and Remi Oteh are both in contention to make their first starts of the campaign.

Both players will be determined to impress their manager if handed the opportunity, but McCartan is likely to be the player who is given the chance.

Clayton Donaldson is without a goal in his last four matches and will be determined to get himself on the scoresheet tomorrow. He will keep his place in the side and start up front alongside McCartan.
