The Dons have taken maximum points from their opening five league games and a win against Dundee would make them the first Non Old Firm side to win their first six since they last achieved that feat in the 2015-16 season.

Dundee have avoided defeat in their last three meetings with Aberdeen but have defensive problems and have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 Premiership games.

Dundee United have won just once in their last nine Premiership games at Rugby Park, with Jim Goodwin’s side given the added incentive of winning back-to-back top-flight away games for the first time since 2020 this weekend.

Will the feel-good factor remain in Fir Park?
