The derby of the round 14 in Russian Premier League will be played in Moscow, where Lokomotiv welcome local rivals Spartak.

The Railway men have experienced numerous problems this season and they are doing remarkably well considering the circumstances.

Coach Yuri Krasnozhan, who had taken over from Yuri Semin, surprised everyone by resigning from the post following the home defeat to Anzhi, but his replacement Vladimir Maminov is doing a really good job.

After Lokomotiv came from two goals behind to earn a point in Tomsk, they managed to beat Spartak Nalchik at home, showing a lot of character in the process seeing they scored two goals in the dying moments of the match.

The hosts now enter this match in great spirits, so you should know William Hill pays 2.25 (5/4) on home win.

With striker Djibi Fall back to the side from a shoulder injury, coach Vladimir Maminov will have full squad to choose from.

Probable starting line-up (4-4-2): Guilherme – Shishkin, Burlak, Durica, Yanbaev – Ignatjev, Ozdoev, Loskov, Torbinsky – Maicon, Sychev.

Spartak Moscow started the second part of the season earlier than other Russian sides as they reached the Europa League quarter-finals, but the heavy defeats to Porto seem to have had a very negative effect on the squad.

Valery Karpin is still struggling to get the best out of his players, and the team look very inconsistent at the moment.

Following the impressive wins over Krylya Sovetov and Krasnodar, Spartak succumbed to a heavy defeat to Zenit, before sharing spoils with Rubin and Tomsk.

Spartak now have got to try and win this game if they want to remain close to the top of the standings, but that will be no easy job.

Key midfielder Aiden McGeady has picked up an ankle injury that will see him miss next two months of action, while Ari and Eugene Makeev remain sidelined.

The good news is that midfielder Alexander Sheshukov and star striker Welliton return to the side, giving Valery Karpin a much needed boost.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Dikan – Parshivlyuk, Bryzgalov, Rodri, D. Kombarov –Valikaev, Makhmudov – K. Kombarov, Ananidze, Yakovlev – Welliton.
