Bradford City vs. Swansea City: Lineups

Can Bradford City’s amazing run end with them lifting the Capital One Cup at Wembley? We’re about to find out, but first here’s the lineups for both sides.

Swansea City are the favorites today but Bradford City should be quite used to being the underdogs at this point.

Michael Laudrup has put out a strong lineup as one might expect with a trophy on the line. Gerhard Tremmel remains in goal for the Swans after starting every match of this cup run, so starter Michel Vorm will be on the bench. The only other major adjustment from their second leg draw against Chelsea is Ki Sung-Yeung dropping into the central defense with Nathan Dyer taking his spot in the midfield.

Good news for Bradford City as defender Rory McArdle, easily one of their best players, is fit and will start after being an injury concern leading up to the match.

Swansea City starting lineup: Gerhard Tremmel; Àngel Rangel, Ki Sung-Yeung, Ashley Williams, Ben Davies, Leon Britton, Nathan Dyer, Pablo Hernández, Johnathan de Guzmán, Wayne Routledge, Michu.

Bradford City starting lineup: Matt Duke; Stephen Darby, Rory McArdle, Carl McHugh, Curtis Good; Gary Thompson, Nathan Doyle, Gary Jones, Will Atkinson, James Hanson, Nahki Wells.
