New Zealand full-back Brent Webb returns for Leeds after recovering from a knee injury.
Webb replaces Carl Ablett, ruled out with a hamstring injury suffered in the Cup semi-final win over Wigan.
Utility back Jarrod Sammut and second-row Olivier Elima, who missed the win over London through injury, are back in the Bulls squad for the local derby.
Bradford will be further boosted by the news a potential takeover by local businessmen has taken a step forward.
Leeds Rhinos coach Brian McDermott says
"They are playing some good stuff and I think that's because they don't feel pressure with what's going on,They're playing some really attractive stuff just at the moment.
"There's no doubt that they'll come here on Friday looking for a win, there's no doubt about that, We're making a nice gesture with the tickets but don't think that means this isn't a grudge match."
Bradford coach Mick Potter says
"I'm passionate about this club and I want to see them be a power in the Super League, The last few times we've met they've been very entertaining games and I wouldn't want to predict the outcome."
"They've got players like Kevin Sinfield, Rob Burrow and Danny Maguire who are all match winners, I still think form counts when you come in to big games like this. The start of the match will be key."
