 Bradford and Walsall can't be separated in the lead-to table with both on eight points ahead of their meeting at Valley Parade. The Vantoms are unbeaten at home and the midweek win against Sheffield Wednesday in the Papa Johnstrophy has raised confidence levels. Jake Young is rewarded for his two goals in midweek with a league start and he could lead the line. New signings Wright and Pereira are on the bench. Walsall's bright start has fizzled out. It's no win in six in all competitions for the Sadlers. Mike Flynn makes just one change from last weekend. Hayden White for Jackie Earing. This is a new lone striker Danny Cashman among the substitutes today. We're hoping to get on until the Vantoms are unbeaten in seven meetings at home with the Sadlers. Six home wins here last season for Bradford City. Ten draws. Draws were definitely the problem. Walsall have made a bright start and thrusting into the area. Now then, Critchlow on nulls and a penalty. What a dreadful start this is for Bradford City. Just got the wrong side of the defender. Critchlow brought down nulls, spot kick Walsall. Danny Johnson, you'd expect him to score. It's Johnson, it's saved. Two minutes on the boards and Walsall miss a penalty. Harry Lewis take a bow for Bradford City. He got down low to deny Johnson. It remains goalless. What a pressure on Bradford this season. It's the fourth straight campaign in League Two. Walsall expected to challenge and that's a good foot towards Johnson and parried by Lewis. Critchlow didn't know where the ball was. Johnson again. How have Walsall not scored in this match? Taylor Allen heavily involved for the visitors. It was Johnson's effort. Great stop from Lewis. Bradford have been living dangerously in this half. Four points away from home this season for Walsall. Haven't won the last two. That's a great ball in and another good stop from Lewis. He's on fire today. Harry Lewis. Bradford would be well behind if it wasn't for their goalkeeper. Fantastic stop. Walsall will be wondering what on earth they have to do. Only four away wins last season for Walsall. Only two clubs managed fewer. Looking fabulous today so far. The Sadlers. That's a lovely ball forward though. Halliday. Had to get the cross in and it's rifled home by Andy Cook. They've been up against it, Bradford City, but now they have the lead. Two minutes before half-time. And it's the host to lead. Fourth lead goal of the season for Andy Cook and against his old club as well. What a big moment for him. Brad Halliday did superbly well to get that across. It's poor Walsall defending a golden goal for Bradford City. They lead 1-0. Luke Sickner for Walsall to possibly be going in behind at half-time. That's route one. He was up towards Cook. Jake Young goes for goal. And what a goal it was. A breathtaking strike from Jake Young. Largely against the run of play, but Bradford have two. He scored two in midweek as well against Sheffield Wednesday in the EFL trophy. And that is brilliant. A fourth in all competitions this season for Jake Young. Bradford two, Walsall nil. What do Walsall have to do to get back into this? Liam Bennett's touch forwards. Walsall plenty of the ball. Highly dangerous. It's a surprise they haven't scored so far today. It's just not been their day. And that was a pretty hefty collision. Walsall is on that Brandon Comley. Now Bennett floats one in. Flicked on by Bradford defender and poked home. And that's a route back. Walsall do have their goal. And it's Donovan Daniels. It's the first goal that Bradford have conceded at home this season. It wasn't great defending, but Walsall will take it. Two-one, game on. Walsall really are pressing for this equaliser. That's a firm header away. And that struck with Venom. Plenty of Bradford bodies defending though. That was Comley. And that's into the area. That's hacked clear by Critchlow. As far as Bennett though floats another one in. This is desperate times for Bradford City. They've had to do a lot of defending in this match. But at the moment, they're doing it pretty well. And it comes again though. It's still not been cleared. Here's the goal scorer, Daniels. Daniels looking for a second. This surely against the post. It just won't go in for Walsall. Now Evans floats it back. They're laying siege to the Bradford goal at the moment. That hit really well, but hit wide. Good strike by Montay this. On his left foot. Unlucky. This would be six league wins in the last ten league matches for Bradford. If the scoreline stays the same. Spanning into last season, of course. Goodness me, they're having to hold on. Sizable Walsall pressure. It's floated in. Bradford need to get this clear. That struck brilliantly. Goodness me, what an effort. Taylor Allen, desperately unlucky. Can't strike a football much better than this. Lewis there again. One win in 11 away league games for Walsall. Prior to today, that looks like becoming one win in 12. They are not good travellers. Trying to rescue a point here, though. And cleared by Matty Platt. Walsall get the ball back again, and that was Allen running onto it, but Bradford staying alive and fighting for each other. And they've won a free kick to the relief of the home crowd. And that's taken quickly. And this might be the killer-thirds. And it's a big save from Owen Evans. Key and Harrod, the substitute, was played through quickly. Good piece of improvisation from Bradford City. Should have really been three. Now or never for Walsall. They've played well today. Only one goal to show for it. Can they silence the home crowd? Halliday does really well. Three big points for Bradford City. An excellent win for Mark Hughes-Men. It's their third win of the season, and they remain unbeaten at home. But goodness me, they had to fight for this one. Two goals right before half-time from Andy Cook and Jake Young. Walsall threw everything at them. But it's now five league games without a win for the Sadlus. They've been beaten. Bradford 2, Walsall 1.
