TEAM NEWS
Anders Dreyer and Greg Tansey remain out for Saints, while the manager told the press that Simeon Jackson is still struggling after coming off last week against Hamilton.
Calum Butcher is United's only injury concern ahead of tonight's match.
"United are a good side. They put us out of the Scottish Cup earlier in the season and they have a huge amount to play for.
"We've come an awful long way since that day in the cup. We're a different animal now, that's fair to say.
"The last few months has seen a real upsurge in performances and more importantly the number of points we accumulated. It's easy to say we're in our best form of the season.
"It's been a heck of a season and now we want to top it off by staying in the league."
