Henri Anier will lead the Dundee United attack against Motherwell, making his home debut against his former club.

Central defender Callum Morris returns to the Terrors lineup following an injury layoff, but the hosts are without John Souttar and Mario Bilate.

Motherwell have made two changes from the side that were thrashed by Celtic in their last outing, with defender Fraser Kerr and striker Lee Erwin earning recalls.

Mark O'Brien misses out through suspension, while Lionel Ainsworth has been dropped to the bench.

United: Cierzniak, Morris, Fojut, Dillon, Spittal, Butcher, Telfer, Armstrong, Dow, Connolly, Anier

Motherwell: Twardzik, Reid, Carswell, Ramsden, McManus, Sutton, Law, Erwin, Kerr, Watt, Pearson
