Team news

St Johnstone Liam Gordon is likely to miss out.

Aberdeen Funso Ojo and Scott Wright are out, but Ash Taylor is fit again.

Match preview

Aberdeen should add to the doom and gloom surrounding St Johnstone in Perth.

Saints are most certainly in a relegation battle. They have enormous problems in defence and look as if they are going to concede in every game. Their last match before the break saw them concede four goals to a Hibs team who had been in freefall.

In contrast, the Dons have been going well and are aiming for their fourth win in a row following successes against Hamilton, Kilmarnock and Ross County. Andrew Considine will be desperate to mark his 500th Dons game with a win.

Don't expect a thriller at McDiarmid Park, but Derek McInnes' side can increase Saints' many problems.

Key stat

St Johnstone have kept just two clean sheets all season and one of them was against Brechin City, the bottom team in Scottish football.
