Ian Evatt’s side head into the fixture looking to return to winning ways, and build on their strong form throughout December.
The new year started with a 5-1 defeat to Port Vale, with a red card for James Husband at the end of the first half completely changing the dynamic of the contest.
Following the restart, Tom Bloxham’s opening goal was completely wiped out, as Jayden Stockley, George Byers, Jaheim Headley, Devante Cole and Ronan Curtis all found the back of the net.
Husband will now be unavailable for the next three games, with the Seasiders’ appeal against the decision proving to be unsuccessful.
Here’s our predicted XI and bench to take on Bradford:
