Brendan Rodgers has named his Celtic team to take on Motherwell this afternoon.
The Hoops know they must claim three points if they are to reclaim their slot from Aberdeen at the top of the Scottish Premiership table.
Rodgers has made four changes to his starting XI for this one, with captain Callum McGregor missing out altogether.
£11million summer recruit Arne Engels is benched alongside Adam Idah and Nicolas Kühn. Fit again duo Cameron Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor are also welcomed additions among the substitutes.
Kasper Schmeichel starts in goal, with a back four of Alistair Johnston, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales, and Alex Valle.
Reo Hatate, Luke McCowan, and Paulo Bernardo make up the midfield.
While Daizen Maeda and James Forrest are tasked with supporting Kyogo Furuhashi in attack.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
