There should be decent football on show in Falkirk this afternoon, with the visitors another side who like to get the ball down and play.

The Bairns have proven to be a bogey team for Motherwell this term, winning two and drawing one of their three encounters.

In fact, Motherwell are winless in six league visits to Falkirk, scoring just one goal in that run since a 2-1 victory way back in February 2007.

Let's see what the managers think...

Dundee United are clear of relegation danger, but Jim Goodwin will be keen for his side to maintain their decent form after three wins in their past four.

Kilmarnock, meanwhile, need the points and need them soon given they are the side occupying 11th with four games remaining.

Neil McCann's men could do without conceding a goal inside the opening minute, something they have done in their past three away games.

They are back at home today, though, where they have lost just one of their six league games under McCann.

With the games rapidly being ticked off there is now little margin for error in the battle at the bottom of the Premiership.

We are at the stage where wins are priceless, and defeats could prove so costly. So the stakes are high at Dens Park where ninth-place Dundee welcome St Mirren, who are 10th.

Just three points separate the sides - but the two teams are more concerned about trying to put as much daylight as possible between themselves and second-bottom Kilmarnock, who occupy the relegation play-off spot.

Dundee go into the game with a five-point cushion over Killie, while St Mirren’s position is much more precarious with the Paisley side just two points above the Ayrshire team.

So you can see how important this fixture is, and why the outcome could have a big say in how the remainder of the campaign plays out for the two sides.

A 2-2 draw with Aberdeen last night means Livingston are gone if Kilmarnock beat Dundee United today.

As it stands, they are eight points adrift of 11th and have just nine points to play for after Friday's result.

The West Lothian crowd were treated to an entertaining night of action and some nice goals, including a beauty from Livi striker Robbie Muirhead.

Bash that play button above to have a look.

On-loan Birmingham City winger Scott Wright misses out for Dundee through injury.

It means a return to the starting line-up for captain Simon Murray in one of four changes from the 3-0 derby defeat by United.

Utility man Drey Wright also returns along with defender Brad Halliday and on-loan Brentford winger Tony Yogane.

Imari Samuels, Billy Koumetio and Ashley Hay drop to the bench.

Full-back Declan John is a surprise absentee for St Mirren, along with the suspended Alex Gogic and injured striker Jonah Ayunga.

Jayden Richardson, Scott Tanser and Roland Idowu come into the starting line-up, while Marcus Fraser returns from injury to make the bench.

John McGlynn has made one change to his side that started last weekend's 3-1 defeat to Celtic.

Filip Lissah returns in defence, replacing Keelan Adams at right-back.

Jens Berthel Askou has named an unchanged XI from last weekend's win at Rangers, while Johnny Koutroumbis returns to the bench.

Bruce Anderson replaces Jamie Brandon in the Kilmarnock starting XI and it looks like a change of shape for the hosts at Rugby Park. Brandon does not make the bench.

Dundee United make three changes with Sam Cleall-Harding, Dario Naamo and Panutche Camara starting in place of Iurie Iovu, Ryan Strain and Vicko Sevelj, who are all on the bench.
