Bradford City vs Rochdale Preview<\/h2>

Bradford City head into this Carabao Cup first-round tie at the University of Bradford Stadium with genuine intent. Manager Graham Alexander has ruled out rotation, confirming he will select his strongest available side. Nick Powell caught the eye during pre-season with three goals in three outings, while defender Reece Welch could make his competitive debut following a two-year deal. Alexander wants sharper pressing, but the Bantams carry a formidable cup pedigree.<\/p>

Rochdale return to the EFL Cup after three years away, having earned promotion from the National League with a remarkable 106-point campaign. New boss Ian Watson, however, is still searching for his first regulation-time victory since taking charge in May. His side have conceded multiple goals in every match under his watch so far. Summer signings Deshaune Brown and Jonny Smith add attacking options, but defensive fragility remains a clear concern heading into this fixture.<\/p>
