Team News
Bradford
Arsenal
- With no fresh injury concerns, top scorer Nahki Wells could be partnered by either Hanson or Connell, after the latter netted the winner from the bench against Torquay at the weekend.
- Craig Forsyth and Tom Naylor are both cup-tied, having played earlier in the competition for Watford and Derby respectively, and are unable to feature.
- Wingers Zavon Hines and Kyel Reid are nearing a return to fitness after a spell on the sidelines, though the game may come too soon for them.
- Arsene Wenger has stated that he will take an experienced squad to Bradford as the team 'have a good recovery time ahead of the game at Reading on Monday'.
- However, many of the experienced players that he may include are those that are unlikely to get a look in in the league, including Squillaci, Arshavin and Chamakh.
- Youngsters such as Jenkinson and Coquelin also have first team playing time under their belts, while Jernade Meade could get another chance to impress at left-back having done so against Olympiakos in the Champions League.
