🗞️ Team News: Dundee United

Glenn Middleton (Thigh Problems), Peter Pawlett (Hamstring Injury) and Dylan Levitt (Knee Injury) will not be taking part for Dundee United gaffer Jim Goodwin.

It seems likely that The Tangerines should line up in a 3-4-2-1 system this time, utilising Mark Birighitti, Loick Ayina, Charles Mulgrew, Scott McMann, Kieran Freeman, Ian Harkes, Craig Sibbald, Aziz Behich, Jamie McGrath, Sadat Anaku and Steven Fletcher.

🗞️ Team News: St Mirren

Due to a completely injury-free squad to choose from, the St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson has zero fitness concerns at all before this game.

From our viewpoint, The Buddies could decide to make use of a 3-5-2 formation by sending out Trevor Carson, Marcus Fraser, Alexandros Gogic, Joe Shaughnessy, Ryan Strain, Greg Kiltie, Keanu Baccus, Mark O'Hara, Thierry Small, Alex Greive and Curtis Main.
