Aberdeen v Hamilton Academical
Bottom club Accies, who are without a win in 14 Clydesdale Bank Premier League games, will be without midfielder Marco Paixao who has ruptured a ligament. They're also set to be without injured trio Alex Neil, James Gibson and Simon Mensing. It's the third in a run of four consecutive home games for Aberdeen following their defeat to Motherwell and the weekend win over Kilmarnock. The Dons will have Paul Hartley and Andy Considine available again after suspension. Accies had won on three of their previous four visits to Pittodrie before a hat-trick of Hartley penalties sunk them in the Dons' 4-0 win in August.
St Johnstone v Dundee United
United are without captain Jon Daly, who's been sidelined until April with a hernia problem, while Garry Kenneth is also out for three weeks after being injured against Hearts on Saturday. United also have Mihael Kovacevic (knee), Darren Dods (knee) and Scott Severin (ankle) missing. Saints have Chris Millar struggling with a hamstring injury and Collin Samuel is doubtful after he failed a fitness test before Saturday's defeat at Inverness. United have won the three previous meetings of the sides by 1-0.
Motherwell v St Mirren (Wednesday)
Motherwell go into the second of a trio of home games following two wins over Aberdeen at Pittodrie and Hamilton at Fir Park. Skipper Stephen Craigan plays his final game before sitting out Sundayâs match against Celtic through suspension while Steve Jones and Steven Saunders are again likely to miss out. Saints are without a Clydesdale Bank Premier League win in eight and are still searching for their first league win of 2011. Gareth Wardlaw and David Barron remain sidelined for Danny Lennonâs side, who havenât won any of the last six league meetings of the sides.
