St Johnstone v Aberdeen

-

Kick-off: 12.30pm. TV: LIVE on BT Sport 1.

ABERDEEN are, once again, set up for a title challenge but face a Saints side who have top-three ambitions of their own. Saints triumphed 5-1 at Pittodrie earlier this season but the clubs have a tight record in Perth, with the home side picking up 21 wins to the Dons’ 20 in 62 meetings there. Tommy Wright’s side have won two of the last three clashes against Aberdeen, but the last game at McDiarmid Park ended 1-1.

PROBABLE TEAMS:

ST JOHNSTONE (4-4-2): Mannus; Shaughness­y, Mackay, Anderson, Easton; O’Halloran, Davidson, Fisher, Wotherspoo­n; MacLean, Cummins.

ABERDEEN (4-2-3-1): Ward; Logan, Taylor, Quinn, Considine; Shinnie, Flood; Hayes, McGinn, McLean; Rooney.

Referee: Bobby Madden.
