Key Players to Watch: Port Vale vs Bradford

Devante Cole (Port Vale): There isn't much to shout about for Port Vale, but Cole has been their most potent threat and has scored four and assisted one so far this season. He has had a long goal drought of late, and changing that fortune here could be on the cards if Vale gets something.

Antoni Sarcevic (Bradford): Sarcevic is having an excellent start to the season, with six goals and two assists in the league so far. A winning goal last time out against Plymouth will give him a boost heading into this one.
