The Dons boss will make have to make a late call on who is able to feature at Tannadice, with several players having been laid low with illness over the past few days.

“It’s been all week, so we’ve had various players miss training and that’s ongoing at the moment, unfortunately,” Robinson said on Friday morning,

“Some people have come down with things today and some have recovered from earlier on in the week, so it’ll be a last-minute decision in terms of the team.”

The seventh-placed Dons are bidding to build on last weekend’s win over St Mirren by leapfrogging United to move into the top six.

“We haven’t been able to follow up a really good result with another really good result,” said Robinson. “It’s maybe been a draw or a loss after that.

“We’ve lost one in six, we’ve won three, drew two, lost one, so we’re doing OK.

“We’re starting to get a little bit of consistency. It’s now about trying to get those consecutive wins in a row and that’s not easy.”
