Bradford Park Avenue will have at least four of the five players who missed last Saturday's Challenge Cup quarter-final defeat at Lancaster back for tomorrow's visit of Congleton Town in the UniBond Division One.
Striker Phil Denney, midfielder Mark Wilson and Gary Edmunds were cup-tied and forward Jason Maxwell returns from a one-match ban. But Danny Verity is still doubtful with a hamstring strain.
Manager Trevor Storton said: "This is a big game for us. We didn't lose any ground by being in the cup last week but we need to be picking up points again now."
Park Avenue are the last club in either division of the UniBond still with an unbeaten home record and Storton knows every club wants to be the first to win at Horsfall Stadium this season.
Avenue are hoping for additional support tomorrow with Bradford City not playing.
They are also hoping that Bradford Bulls season ticket holders will take up their offer of cheap admission. Adults can gain entry for £1 while children are admitted free.
