Two Changes To Face Livingston

STEVEN GERRARD has named two changes to his side for this afternoon’s Scottish Premiership match with Livingston at Almondvale.

From the team which defeated St Johnstone 3-0 on Wednesday to make it three wins and no goals conceded from three league matches so far this season, Canadian skipper Scott Arfield comes in for Joe Aribo, while Sweden international Filip Helander starts in place of Leon Balogan.

The manager revealed at his Friday press conference Balogan would miss the game with a minor quad issue, while Aribo has taken a slight knock, with Gerrard opting not to risk him today.
