Juan Sara is almost certain to miss today's penultimate league match against Hibs at Easter Road. The big man who came off injured against United last week hasn't fully recovered in time for the Edinburgh clash.
Others in a race for fitness are Beto Carranza, Javier Artero and big Lee Wilkie.
Dundee, who have beaten Hibs three times already this season, will hopefully, show more urgency about their game than they did in last week's derby and if they do a 4th win against the Edinburgh side is not beyond them.
How have the mighty fallen? Dundee may have had a bad season, falling from 6th position to 8th or 9th, depending on where they end up after the last two matches. But Hibs? 3rd top, magnificent side last time round, yet suddenly the bubble's burst and they're down in the basement league with the wee clubs. A funny old game, football!
