Team News

Dundee United
Aberdeen
  • Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin named two changes to the Terrors team that held Celtic to a goalless draw at Tannadice, before coming from behind on Boxing Day to beat St Johnstone 2-1 in Perth.
  • Jack Walton continued in goal behind the incoming Emmanuel Adegboyega, Kevin Holt and Declan Gallagher, who was sent off against Saints, as Miller Thomson moved onto the bench. Ryan Strain and Will Ferry started at right wing-back and left wing-back respectively.
  • Richard Odada made his first Scottish Premiership start in place of Luca Stephenson in midfield, joining Vicko Sevelj. Glenn Middleton, who grabbed the equaliser, joined Kai Fotheringham in support of McDiarmid Park matchwinner Sam Dalby.
  • Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin named four changes to the Dons team that lost 3-1 to Hibernian at Pittodrie despite taking the lead, before a Boxing Day battering at the hands of Kilmarnock as they lost 4-0 at Rugby Park.
  • Dimitar Mitov returned between the sticks, replacing Ross Doohan. Angus MacDonald took Gavin Molloy's place in the Dons defence to join Slobodan Rubezic. Nicky Devlin continued at right-back, with Jack MacKenzie on the left.
  • Sivert Nilsen and Graeme Shinnie sat in front of the Reds' backline once again. Duk replaced Leighton Clarkson to join Jamie McGrath and Topi Keskinen, in support of Peter Ambrose who replaced Ester Sokler in the Aberdeen attack.

Prediction

  • Fourth meets third as Dundee United and Aberdeen go toe-to-toe at Tannadice in the evening kick-off of Sunday's Scottish Premiership full fixture card.
  • Dundee United earned back-to-back Scottish Premiership victories over St Johnstone for the first time since April 2012, coming from behind at McDiarmid Park to beat the Perth Saints, after their 2-0 win at Tannadice in August was succeded by a 2-1 Boxing Day bonus. Having lost by a sole goal to Aberdeen at Pittodrie in October, the Terrors would love to inflict some revenge on the Reds after their late winner up north.
  • The Dons' dismal recent run has seen them slip to third place in the Scottish Premiership table, six points ahead of their weekend opponents but in grave danger of the gap being cut to three. The Kilmarnock catastrophe was the seventh successive league game without a win for Aberdeen, the longest ongoing winless run of any Scottish Premiership team. Having already beaten United at Pittodrie, they'd love to repeat that feat this weekend.
  • Despite winning the reverse fixture, Aberdeen's bubble appears to have burst and Dundee United will hope to do more damage to the Dons in their second league meeting of the season.
