Carlisle United have decided to hand a first league start to on-loan Wigan midfielder Daniel Redmond as they host Bradford City in League One this evening.

United are also able to welcome back midfield general Paul Thirlwell into their starting XI, with the player having been missing with injury since New Year's Day.

The hosts have opted for a 4-4-2 formation, which will see Lee Miller and David Amoo leading the club's attacking line.

Tonight's visitors have brought both Garry Thompson and Rory McArdle back into their starting lineup.

Thompson will take the place of Kyle Bennett down the right flank, while McArdle will feature in City's defence as he replaces Carl McHugh.

Carlisle United: Pickford; Chimbonda, O'Hanlon, Meppen-Walter, Robson, Thirlwell, Potts, Berrett, Redmond, Amoo, Miller

Bradford City: McLaughlin; Darby, Dolan, Davies, Hanson, Thompson, Jones, Mclean, Bates, McArdle, Reach
