Match preview: Motherwell vs Kilmarnock

Killie travel to Fir Park, hoping to win there for the first time since 2020

Kilmarnock travel to North Lanarkshire to face Motherwell.

Derek McInnes' side sit fourth in the Premiership with 32 points, while the Steelmen sit eighth on 21.

Team news

Former Motherwell marksman Kevin van Veen joined Killie on loan from Dutch club FC Groningen on deadline day and could make his debut in what has been coined 'The Kevin van Veen Derby.' Midfielder James Balagizi could also make his Killie bow, having been on the bench in last week's 2-2 draw with Hibs, having signed on loan from Liverpool.

Greg Stewart returns from his backdated suspension, which he accrued in India.

Corrie Ndaba starts his two-match ban following his controversial dismissal against Hibs.

Robbie Deas will be missing for a few weeks, having fractured his cheekbone. He joins Brad Lyons and Kyle Magennis on the injury list.

Motherwell will be without Adam Montgomery, Jonathan Obika and Callum Slattery. Dan Casey also remains a fitness doubt.

Last time out...

The two sides last met at Rugby Park in November, and on that occasion, Killie ran out 1-0 winners, thanks to an Innes Cameron goal. Here's the best of the action:
