STAR PREVIEW: Dundee United v Dundee

[dropcap]N[/dropcap]ice and easy for the Man City HT/FT recommendation at the Hawthorns last night.

Scottish Premiership action tonight and the Dundee United v Dundee derby at Tannadice Park.

No surprise to see the home side as favourites on Star Sports given the fact that Dundee have not won on their last six trips here and were the inferior of the two teams last season.

Both sides have started this season with a win and a loss.

Dundee United midfielder Rodney Sneijder will miss tonight’s match after falling ill. Also absentees include striker Mario Bilate (hamstring) and Paul Paton (knee).

Dundee manager Paul Hartley is hoping to have striker Rory Loy and midfielder Nicky Low back after injury whilst Paul McGowan is free to play again after his court imposed evening curfew ended.

Provisional Dundee United squad: Zwick, McGowan, Dillon, Dixon, Durnan, Donaldson, Souttar, Rankin, Erskine, Telfer, Connolly, Spittal, Fraser, Spark, Bodul, Muirhead, Murray, Anier, McCallum.

Provisional Dundee squad: Bain, Irvine, Kerr, McGinn, Konrad, McPake, Holt, Meggatt, Etxabeguren, Allan, Black, Thomson, Ferry, McGowan, Harkins, Ross, Colquhoun, Carreiro, Roberts, Stewart, Loy, Hemmings, Mitchell.
