St Johnstone v Dundee Utd Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League Venue: McDiarmid Park Kick-off: 20:00 GMT Coverage: Live coverage on BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound & BBC Sport website St Johnstone welcome back Tam Scobbie and Gary Miller from ankle problems, with Frazer Wright and Steven Anderson also back from niggling injuries. Patrick Cregg returns from suspension but long-term absentees David Robertson and Jamie Adams remain out. Gary Mackay-Steven is a doubt after picking up a hamstring injury, while John Rankin remains suspended. Willo Flood returns from a ban but striker Johnny Russell and defender Gavin Gunning remain sidelined. St Johnstone manager Steve Lomas: "Dundee Utd and Motherwell have probably been the two teams that we haven't done great against. It would be nice to address that on Monday. But they have a lot to play for themselves and have some decent players. They beat us 5-0 last season but apart from that it's been pretty tight, a goal here or there and we expect more of the same. We have had a couple of draws already this season so it shows the teams are evenly-matched. Dundee United manager Jacki McNamara: "We always try to play good football. But when it gets down to this stage of the season it can be more about the result than the performance at the end of the day. I know the players can dig deep to win even if they're not at their best. That's a side of their game they've shown since I came in so they may have to do that again. St Johnstone are a big, strong side so we will obviously have to match them in that respect. It's going to be a very hard game but we'll be ready for it and hopefully come away with a positive result.
