Bradford Park Avenue will put out a makeshift side as they head into their biggest game in recent years.

A mixture of injuries and late arrivals will see Avenue defend their 1-0 first leg UniBond Challenge Cup Final lead against Accrington Stanley with five key players absent.

But assistant boss Ian Thompson believes his side have got what it takes to triumph in the expected goalfest.

"They have to score or the trophy is ours," said the confident coach, who will once again feature on the bench.

"We are going to go out there and give it 100 per cent, it is up to them to beat us. They will be at us from the first whistle but we are determined to show what we can do - it will be fantastic for everyone if we can pick up more silverware.

"I'd love it to be 0-0, but I can't see that happening. But we have the best front three in the league and there will be chances."

Burly centre-back and long-throw specialist James Stansfield misses out with a hairline fracture to his ankle, but defender Micky Thompson returns from his foot-down-a-rabbit-hole escapades.
