Stuart McCall has made two changes to the Motherwell starting lineup for his side's clash with Hearts this afternoon.

Lee Hollis and Lionel Ainsworth, who both started the Steelmen's 2-0 loss at Celtic two weeks ago, are replaced by Gunnar Nielsen and Henri Anier.

Callum Tapping, Brad McKay and David Smith return to the Hearts team at the expense of Kevin McHattie, Jason Holt and Scott Robinson.

Motherwell: Nielsen; Hammell, Ramsden, Hutchinson, McManus; Sutton, Vigurs, Lasley; Francis-Angol, Carswell, Anier
