Motherwell end the 2018/19 season with an early home kick off against Livingston on Saturday.

Here’s the game previewed in numbers.

51

The maximum points return on offer for Motherwell in the 2018/19 Ladbrokes Premiership season is 51, with a victory against Livingston taking them to that amount.

Doing so – or at least picking up a draw – will surpass the points tally of 48 accumulated in the 2017/18 season.

Stephen Robinson’s side also currently sit with 43 goals scored, the same amount put in the back of the net last campaign, so there is another tally on offer to surpass.

267

The number of days Livingston fans have had to wait since their last victory in the Ladbrokes Premiership away from home.

Their only win on their league travels this campaign came in their second away match against St Mirren on 25 August, when Jack Hamilton and Alan Lithgow struck in a 2-0 win.

Twelve of the team’s 44 league points have been picked up on the road, underlining their strong home record.

Motherwell host Livingston in the final Ladbrokes Premiership match of the 2018/19 season on Saturday.

Here’s an early look ahead to the match. Kick off is at 12.30pm.

What’s at stake

Both teams are locked in their finishing positions going into the game.

Motherwell will be in eighth, having lost the chance to take seventh with defeat at St Johnstone last weekend.

Livingston can get to within a point of their opponents with victory, but are guaranteed ninth spot.

Tale of the tape

The two teams have already met four times in 2018/19 – three times in the league and once in the Betfred Cup.

Danny Johnson’s goal was the difference in the first encounter in the cup early in the season, before a 1-1 draw at Fir Park in the first league game.

Livi then ran out 2-0 winners at home in the Premiership, before a 3-0 convincing win for Stephen Robinson’s side at home in February.

The battle for seventh spot came down to this.

This is the Story of the Match from our trip to face St Johnstone.

David Turnbull has won the Scottish Football Writers’ Association Young Player of the Year award.

The midfielder has been rewarded for an outstanding breakthrough season in claret and amber, in which he has netted 13 league goals.

Turnbull beat off competition from Jake Hastie, Kilmarnock’s Greg Taylor and Aberdeen’s Lewis Ferguson to win the award.

He becomes only the second Motherwell player in history to win the award, following in the footsteps of James McFadden, who won in season 2001/02.

He will be formally presented with the award at a Scottish Football Writers’ Association event on Sunday, 19 May.

See the highlights as Motherwell lose out 2-0 at St Johnstone, handing their victors seventh spot in the Ladbrokes Premiership.

Richard Tait, Chris Cadden and Tom Aldred speak as Motherwell lose seventh spot with defeat at St Johnstone.

“We got punished for two errors. We’ve only got ourselves to blame.”

Stephen Robinson reacts to the defeat away to St Johnstone.

Motherwell conceded seventh spot to St Johnstone in the Ladbrokes Premiership, as they lost 2-0 to the Saints in Perth.

Goals from Scott Tanser and Murray Davidson sealed the hosts’ league finish, and means the Steelmen will finish eighth.

Stephen Robinson named an unchanged team and the visitors started brightly, controlling possession and carving out half chances to try and get ahead.

On the half hour mark, the clearest chance of all should have fallen to Motherwell. Tanser handled the ball on the line to block Ariyibi’s goalbound effort, but the referee didn’t give it.

It would be Tanser who would then put his team ahead. Charles Dunne got on the wrong side of Chris Kane on the right side of the box and bundled the striker over.

Tanser then picked his spot to make it 1-0, putting the ball into the far right bottom corner just outside of the reach of Mark Gillespie.

Motherwell went in at the break arguably the better side but that changed in the second half, as the Saints doubled their advantage early on.

A swift counter attack left Grimshaw with a miracle to perform to somehow stop a cross into the box, having to contend with two St Johnstone players bearing down on goal.

The defender did his best, but Davidson used all his experience to steer home the second.

Motherwell changed their shape and brought on attacking reinforcements to try and salvage something, but they ultimately failed to carve out the chances required.

“We are going all out to win the game. We’ve played a lot of positive football, so we have to take that in again.”

Stephen Robinson looks ahead to the battle for seventh in Perth on Saturday.
