Team News

Motherwell
Dundee United
  • Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell named two changes to the Steelmen side that was demolished 4-1 by Dundee at Dens Park in midweek, before a late winner for the Well saw them leave Paisley with three points as they beat St Mirren 1-0.
  • Aston Oxborough remained in goal behind Shane Blaney, who replaced Kofi Balmer, Dan Casey and Liam Gordon in the back three. Jair Tavares continued at right wing-back, with Steve Seddon remaining at left wing-back.
  • Andy Halliday replaced Harry Paton to accompany Lennon Miller and Ewan Wilson in the middle of the park. The weekend matchwinner Tony Watt, who's ineligible for this game against his parent club, partnered Apostolos Stamatelopoulos in attack.
  • Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin named just one change to the Terrors team that beat St Mirren for the third time this season with a 2-0 win at home, before Kilmarnock left it late to leave Tannadice with a 1-1 draw.
  • Jack Walton continued in goal behind a back three of Kevin Holt, Declan Gallagher and Emmanuel Adegboyega. Will Ferry continued at left wing-back and Ryan Strain at right wing-back.
  • David Babunski and Vicko Sevelj were given the nod in the middle of the park once more. Luca Stephenson supported a strike duo of Sam Dalby and Louis Moult, who took Glenn Middleton's place, in the starting eleven last Saturday.

Prediction

  • Fifth meets fourth as Motherwell host Dundee United at Tannadice, with the Well trailing the Terrors by two points in the Scottish Premiership table.
  • The Well got back to winning ways, earning back-to-back Scottish Premiership victories over St Mirren for the third time since the Buddies bounced back to the Premiership in 2018 having previously done so in December 2019 and July 2022. They trail the Terrors by two points, so could overtake United in the standings if they clinched a third win over the Tangerines in all competitions this season.
  • Dundee United are unbeaten in five Scottish Premiership games, since a 2-1 defeat to this weekend's opponents at Tannadice at the end of October, but will be disappointed as a late leveller for Kilmarnock saw Killie depart Dundee with a point. Having lost to the Steelmen in the league, and being knocked out of the League Cup by Motherwell, they'd love to right their wrongs against the Well here.
  • This game could prove a cracker with both teams vying for European places after solid starts to the season, but recent matches have seen Motherwell find a way past Dundee United so the Well will want that to continue this weekend.
