Mark Hughes is expecting a "doubly difficult" challenge as Bradford City prepare to face promotion-chasing Bristol Rovers on Saturday.
The Gas remain firmly in contention for honours, sitting three points shy of League Two's automatic promotion places in sixth with seven games remaining. A dramatic upturn in form since the turn of the year has made Joey Barton's side contenders and Hughes expects Rovers to cause the Bantams problems at the Mem.
The former Manchester City and Southampton manager was a surprise appointment by Bradford in February, owing to his pedigree of playing and managing in the top flight. He has history with Barton from when the Welshman was in charge at Queens Park Rangers in 2012, with the pair rarely seeing eye to eye.
