Bradford AFC vs Southend United - Billy Clarke available for Bradford's clash with Southend

Bradford striker Billy Clarke will return to contention for the home game against Southend.

Clarke has missed the last three games due to a hamstring strain but will be included in boss Phil Parkinson's squad.

On-loan West Ham midfielder Josh Cullen is poised to make his home debut for the club after making his first appearance in Saturday's 4-0 win at Peterborough.

Parkinson, who has no major new injury or suspension concerns, is not expected to make many changes but Steven Davies and Josh Morris are pushing for recalls.

Southend manager Phil Brown could make a number of changes to the side that suffered a 1-0 defeat at Scunthorpe on Saturday.

Midfielder Anthony Wordsworth, a second-half substitute in Southend's last two outings, may be handed his first start since October after recovering from an ankle injury.

Gary Deegan and Michael Timlin are also both in contention for recalls to Brown's starting XI, but Ryan Leonard faces 10 weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Southend head to Valley Parade seventh in the table and three points adrift of the play-off places.
