Bradford City boss Paul Jewell is predicting a "cracker" of a West Yorkshire derby clash with Huddersfield tomorrow, but has stressed his side must keep their nerve.

The Bantams know that only victory will do in the race for automatic promotion.

City are second in the table on goals scored from Ipswich who have a game in hand and face a stiff test at Bolton tomorrow.

However Jewell has told his side that they must stick to their gameplan in what is bound to be an electric Valley Parade atmosphere.

He said: "It would be a big game regardless of where we were in the league because it is Huddersfield. We will be fired up for it because we know they certainly will be.

"The second half at Port Vale was a lot more like how we prefer to play. We were a bit too cavalier at times but at least we threw everything at them.

"It will be a great atmosphere tomorrow and certainly not a place for the faint-hearted. The play will be 1,000,000 miles per hour but we must use our heads."

City have started hesitantly in three of their last four games.

The City boss is determined there will be no repeat against the Terriers tomorrow but stressed that the result is all important now.

"In those three games we might not have started well, but we did manage to score. The fans will be wound up for this and making all sorts of noise so I think it will be a cracker."

Jewell has no fresh injury worries with left back Wayne Jacobs having recovered from the knock on the head which left him needing treatment at the end of Tuesday's clash at Vale Park.

City will hold a minute's silence for the tenth anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster before the match.

City striker Lee Mills has received a written apology from Port Vale over derogatory comments in the programme for Tuesday night's game. City say the matter is now finished.
