Bradford City has been the undeniable breakthrough team of the Capital One Cup. They are responsible for eliminating Wigan and Arsenal in previous stances and now, they have a 3-1 lead over Aston Villa, and perhaps, one foot in the tournament final.
The only thing standing between the Bantams and history is English Giant, Aston Villa. True, they're down by a considerable amount of goals, but they will have home turf advantage and the weight of their own story behind. Aston Villa was the first team to lift the Cup in 1961 and it has repeated this five times since.
Bradford Manager, Phil Parkinson has asked his players for a heroic display in this semifinal as they have "a real chance of making history" and getting to the final for the first time.
