Bradford City v Port Vale: Bantams look to remedy their cup blues
Bradford City will be looking to bounce back from their FA Cup exit when they host Port Vale in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Northern Section quarter-final tonight.
The Bantams were dumped out of the FA Cup by Notts County on Friday night, but they get an immediate chance to make amends by booking a semi-final spot in the JPT competition.
In-form striker Michael Boulding is in line for a starting shirt after Gareth Evans picked up an injury against County and midfielder Lee Bullock will be missing after collecting his fifth booking.
Chris Brandon will also be hoping to shake off the knock which saw him miss the FA Cup clash.
Tottenham registered record pre-tax profits of 33.4million in the year ending June 30, 2009.
The figure was up from 3million on the same period last year, and was built on profits from player sales of 56.5million, with the likes of Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane leaving the club in that time, although the latter re-signed in January.
"We have made significant progress in delivering on our long-term vision for the club," chairman Daniel Levy said in a statement.
"We have always had three key priorities and you will have heard them oft repeated - investment in the first team, a new training centre and an increased capacity state-of the-art new stadium."
Nicklas Bendtner is to undergo surgery on his injured groin, according to the Arsenal striker.
The 21-year-old Dane picked up the knock in last month's 3-0 derby win over Tottenham and had been expected to miss around a month.
"I will have an operation," said Bendtner "I don't know how long I will be out."
The injury was at first thought to be a strain.
