What channel is Dundee United v Aberdeen on? Premiership match info, kick-off time, TV details, team news

There is no doubt what the game of the weekend in the SPFL is, Dundee United against Aberdeen. Aside from the rivalry which exists around the fixture so much has happened in the last week which means there will be so much interest in the match at Tannadice.

Having been battered 4-0 by relegation rivals Ross County, the United hierarchy decided to part company with head coach Liam Fox. Sporting director Tony Asghar then followed. More spice was added to Saturday evening's encounter when former Dons boss Jim Goodwin was appointed to replace Fox on a deal until the end of the season.

Goodwin left Aberdeen last month and the Dons are yet to replace him with former Dundee United favourite Barry Robson in interim charge. He has led the team to two wins from four matches with two defeats.

United come into the match needing points in their quest for survival, while Aberdeen need to consolidate their place in the top six and keep the pressure on the teams above them in the European spots.

The Dons ran out 1-0 winners at Pittodrie in the final match before the World Cup break with Bojan Miovski netting from the penalty spot. The last Tannadice meeting prompted plenty of anger from the travelling support as they lost 4-0. United scored twice in either half in what was one of few highlights of the season so far.
