Goalkeeper Trevor Carson became the latest player on Motherwell's injury list when he suffered a meniscus tear in his knee, which will rule him out until the new year.

Aaron Chapman is expected to deputise after coming on against Ross County last weekend while new signing Jordan Archer joins the squad.

Another goalkeeper, Scott Fox, is on an absentee list featuring defensive players Rickie Lamie, Liam Grimshaw, Charles Dunne, Jake Carroll, Liam Donnelly and Bevis Mugabi, while loan midfielder Robbie Crawford cannot face his parent club.
