Team News

Motherwell
St. Johnstone
  • Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell named an unchanged Steelmen side after they demolished Ross County 5-1 in Dingwall, before they were humbled by Hibernian in a 3-0 defeat at Easter Road in their midweek match on Wednesday.
  • Liam Kelly stuck between the sticks as Shane Blaney, Paul McGinn and Dan Casey continued in an unchanged Well back three. Georgie Gent carried on at left wing-back, with Stephen O'Donnell remaining on the right hand side.
  • Andy Halliday joined Lennon Miller at the heart of the Motherwell midfield. Sam Nicholson accompanied Blair Spittal in support of lone striker Theo Bair, with Jack Vale back on the bench after serving his suspension.
  • St Johnstone boss Craig Levein named an unchanged Saints side despite taking the lead in Livingston but losing 2-1 to already-relegated Livi last weekend before they picked up a point in Perth thanks to a late equaliser against Ross County.
  • Dimitar Mitov stuck between the sticks as David Keltjens, Liam Gordon, Ryan McGowan and Drey Wright continued in an unchanged Saints back four. Dan Phillips and Cammy MacPherson sat as the duo in front of them in midfield.
  • Stevie May started on the left hand side, with Graham Carey on the right. Nicky Clark supported lone striker Adama Sidibeh, who netted a last-gasp equaliser on Wednesday night as Saints look to avoid the dreaded relegation playoff place.

Prediction

  • Motherwell's fate is essentially sealed, but visitors St Johnstone wish they could say the same as the two meet on the final day of the Scottish Premiership season at Fir Park.
  • The Well will finish no lower than ninth position, but could potentially leapfrog Hibernian into eighth should the Hibees not beat Livingston and Motherwell get the better of Saints on Sunday. The Steelmen achieved their objective, staying in the top tier since 1985, after a solid start was succeeded by a rotten run in which they couldn't buy a Scottish Premiership victory for love nor money.
  • St Johnstone enter this match nervously wondering about goings-on elsewhere, as they must win this weekend - coupled with Ross County failing to beat Aberdeen - if they are to avoid a second 11th place finish in three Scottish Premiership seasons. Saints have enjoyed the most successful period in their history since promotion to the top tier, and will want to avoid relegation at all costs.
  • All three league meetings between the two teams this season have been draws, but Motherwell could have Saints sweating about their Premiership status if they beat St Johnstone and send them into the playoffs.
