Bradford start the new decade against Morecambe unbeaten in six games and with the best home record in Sky Bet League Two.

The fourth-placed Bantams have James Vaughan fully fit, with the former Everton striker having recovered from a sickness bug to score twice in the 2-0 win over Mansfield on Sunday.

Shay McCartan could link up with Vaughan again after the Northern Ireland forward made his first league start of the season on Sunday.

Danny Devine, Kelvin Mellor and Harry Pritchard are battling to get fit in time as Bradford seek to improve on strong home form which has seen them take 26 points from 12 games.

Morecambe’s threadbare resources meant they named only five substitutes at Cambridge on Sunday instead of the permitted seven.

Cole Stockton missed the 1-0 defeat through injury, so Lewis Alessandra may start up front again.

Sam Lavelle was also absent after completing a four-match ban, and Andrew Tutte and Shaun Miller have been unavailable in recent weeks.

Having lost three of their last four games, Morecambe enter 2020 one point above bottom-placed Stevenage.
