Kick-off in the final Lanarkshire derby of the season is fast approaching and Hamilton and Motherwell have named their starting 11s for this evening's crucial clash.
Hosts Hamilton are desperate to maintain their 100 per cent record over their rivals this season and potentially lift themselves off the foot of the Premiership table.
And Accies gaffer Brian Rice has named the same side that played well but lost 1-0 to Dundee United on their last outing on April 10.
There's also positive news on the bench for for Accies, with Lewis Smith returning from a long injury lay off to make the bench. He hasn't played since November due to a hamstring problem.
Nathan Thomas also makes the bench after being sidelined with an ankle injury.

The Steelmen have made two changes from the side that squeezed past Morton on penalties on Friday night to reach the Scottish Cup quarter-finals.
Barry Maguire and Steven Lawless drop to the bench and in come Tyler Magloire and Mark O'Hara.
Your Motherwell team for the derby.
