The last time the Seasiders took on the Bantams in West Yorkshire was back in March 2019 – with the two going head-to-head in League One on that occasion as well.
On that occasion, Terry McPhillips’ then side came away with a 4-1 victory. Armand Gnanduillet was on hand with a brace, while Matty Virtue and substitute Chris Taylor also found the back of the net.
Here’s where the Blackpool team that started that day are now:
