 (Live on BT Sport 1)

Derby 2 Leeds 0 in the East Midlands yesterday. Now we're the wally with no lolly.

Football's pretty much done for 2014, so we're going to finish the year with one of 2015's early starters. On the other side of Hadrian's Wall, the Premiership year begins with the Dundee derby at lunchtime tomorrow.

United are third in the league, having beaten Celtic 2-1 in their last outing at Tannadice. The Terrors are odds-on to beat their city foes, but we're interested in their record of conceding at least once in each of their last six games home and away.

Dundee are down in eighth, but have a fine scoring record: they've hit the back of the net in each of their last 16 Premiership games, including 8/8 on the road and also including a 1-4 home defeat to their biggest rivals.

They've kept just three clean sheets along the way, so 13 of those 16 games have seen both teams score.

Jackie McNamara's hosts have scored in 8/9 home games, hitting two or more in 6/9, and certainly have the firepower to do their bit at the other end.
