Dundee United and Dundee go head-to-head in the Scottish Championship this week
The Dundee derby will stir up the city rivalry for the first time in over two years this week.
The sides last met in August 2017 when Dundee beat Dundee United 2-1 in the League Cup.
Dundee have held the upper hand in the fixture in recent times as they remain unbeaten inside 90 minutes for the last six encounters.
United enjoyed a decade of dominance between 2005 and 2015 as they won eight out of the sides’ 11 meetings, but the power shifted.
Dundee’s relegation to the Scottish Championship means the derby game will take on an extra edge as both teams battle it out for promotion in 2019/20.
United have won all three of their opening games to take an early three-point lead at the top of the table, while Dundee remain unbeaten but have drawn two of their matches.
