📰 Team News: Dundee United

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the sole fitness concern for the Dundee United manager Jack Ross to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength group. Peter Pawlett (Achilles tendon surgery) is out of contention.

In all likelihood, The Tangerines will probably go for a 4-3-3 formation this time, beginning the first half with Mark Birighitti, Liam Smith, Ryan Edwards, Charles Mulgrew, Scott McMann, Craig Sibbald, Dylan Levitt, Archie Meekison, Mathew Anim Cudjoe, Steven Fletcher and Tony Watt.

📋 Team News: Livingston

With a completely healthy squad available to select from, the Livingston manager David Martindale has zero fitness worries whatsoever coming into this game.

It’s our belief that Livi Lions might utilise a 4-3-3 formation, choosing Shamal George, Nicky Devlin, Jack Fitzwater, Ayo Obileye, Phillip Cancar, Jason Holt, Sean Kelly, Stephane Omeonga, Scott Pittman, Joel Nouble and Andrew Shinnie.

When taking all factors into account, Livingston would be disappointed if they were not to break down this Dundee United lineup, but it probably shouldn’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
