Bradford City striker Peter Thorne is expected to keep his place in the Bantams team for the clash with Grimsby Town on Saturday.The former Norwich forward had been sidelined with a hip injury but the Bantams' leading scorer returned to the side last week against Brentford to help secure a valuable point.

Chilean striker Willy Topp will not recover in time for the game due to his on-going groin problem.

Otherwise, manager Stuart McCall has no other new injury or suspension problems and is not expected to make changes.

The Bantams will be hoping to continue their run of just one league defeat in their last seven matches.
