"With the mood around Valley Parade at a red-hot high, Graham Alexander's men are certainly riding an extended wave of momentum. Currently sat second in the League One standings and with their sights firmly set on mounting another iconic promotion charge, the former Salford boss has seen his squad gain a string of plaudits. Mounting a second-half comeback away at Rotherham over the weekend as they snatched a thrilling 2-2 stalemate away at their local rivals,"
"As for the visitors, making an immediate return to losing ways last time out as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at home against Manchester United, Everton's U21s find themselves in the midst of what has become an extended rut. Despite signing off September with a much-welcomed 1-0 win away at Middlesbrough, it appears that was just a minor boost for Paul Tait's downbeat squad."
Bradford City have carried strong momentum into the EFL Trophy tie, sitting second in League One and targeting a promotion push. Bradford have collected ten points from their last four league matches, including a second-half comeback for a 2-2 draw at Rotherham, and won their EFL Trophy opener 2-1 against Grimsby. A 4-1 EFL Cup defeat to Newcastle did not disrupt the squad's form. Everton U21s are struggling, losing six of their previous seven matches across all competitions, showing defensive weaknesses, and began the EFL Trophy with a 2-1 defeat to Doncaster. Bradford enter the match as clear favorites.
