Celtic, Recent FormIn their last match Celtic enforced their superiority over Livingston with a 3-0 away win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 75%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Livingston, who had 4 shots on goal with 2 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal for them with 17 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Ange Postecoglou will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 8 goals in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 18 games in a row. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 7 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 30 games.
When home matches come round at Celtic Park, Giorgos Giakoumakis will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 6 goals in Celtic's last 6 home league matches.
Dundee United, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Dundee United players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Motherwell. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Motherwell who had 9 attempts and 2 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Liam Fox will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
On an individual basis, Tony Watt will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Dundee United's last 6 league games.
A defeat for Dundee United in their last match against Celtic was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 9 goals.
Celtic have scored in each of their last 18 games at home in the league against The Tangerines. When it comes to breaching the opposition defence, The Bhoys know how to do it against Dundee Utd, having clocked up 15 goals against them in their previous 5 meetings. Dundee Utd have struggled to break down The Bhoys defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
On home soil Celtic have managed to keep their visitors at bay for a very long time in this league fixture, denying Dundee Utd a win against them for 44 games in a row.
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. João Jota (Muscle), Callum McGregor (Knee), Carl Starfelt (Knee) and Stephen Welsh (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Dundee Utd manager Liam Fox ahead of this clash, with Charlie Mulgrew (Thigh) missing out, which gives Fox a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
