Bradford City will hope their excellent home form sees them through to Wembley and potential promotion tonight.

The Bantams trail Bolton 1-nil after the first leg of their League One play-off semi.

It leaves everything to play for, with City knowing a strong performance in front of their home crowd could still keep their dream of reaching Wembley alive.

Boss Graham Alexander said: "I think we're all excited, I didn't allow myself to think this far ahead at the start of the season, I just wanted to hit the ground running and get the team competitive and everything.

"But, when you sort of look at it now, and someone said, we're potentially two games away from the championship, then you think of the journey."

He also said: "It's just a good time to be a part of a football club and that's what we want really, so lets try extend it for at least another game."
