BBC Sport Scotland at Pittodrie

What a beautiful day it is in Aberdeen, with the Pittodrie pitch bathed in glorious sunshine.

A look at the form lines of both Aberdeen and St Mirren does not look so pretty.

The Dons have won just two of their eight league games, have scored just seven goals - four of them coming in one match against Motherwell - and looked like they could play all day without scoring in the 1-0 home loss to St Johnstone last weekend.

St Mirren are coming off a 5-0 hiding at Hearts, their fourth straight league defeat, and the pressure is on both sides to deliver a win.

After last week's 5-0 drubbing by Hearts, St Mirren manager Craig McLeish makes three changes.

Centre-back Marcus Fraser is fit to captain the Buddies from the start again and replaces Henry Fieldson.

Luke Thomas Makes his first league start on the wing, as Chris Mochrie drops to the bench.

Killian Phillips shifts back into midfield and Eseola Sule starts up front amid the absence of injured striker Nikolas Agrafiotis.
