Shrewsbury Town manager Paul Hurst is expecting a tough match as they host high-flying Bradford City on Saturday.

Town are set to hand home debuts to three players, including Aristote Nsiala, whose red card was rescinded earlier this week, after being sent off in the draw at Harltepool on Saturday.

Shrewsbury look to climb further off the base of League One against a team that Hurst describes as one of the best in the division.
