Max Stryjek is the early candidate for man of the match at Dens Park with his second top save of the afternoon, this time tipping Dundee defender Ryan Sweeney's looping header out for a corner.

Calvin Ramsay does well down the right-hand side, then cuts infield but his effort from 25 yards is saved comfortably by home keeper Liam Kelly.

Motherwell are doing well to limit Aberdeen to shots from distance.

Another big chance for Dundee United. Peter Pawlett plays a one-two with Ian Harkes, the space opens up for him, but he balloons his shot over the bar.

Liel Abada's hit the woodwork again!

The Israeli winger lashes a half volley towards goal, the ball takes a nick and crashes off the County crossbar.

Big 10 minutes this for County.

County are starting to pose a bit of a threat here.

Jack Burroughs nips in front of Greg Taylor and charges into the Celtic box, but his strike is quite a bit wide of Joe Hart's near post.

Cross across goal would've been a better option.

Aberdeen continue to dominate possession despite being a goal down but few chances are being created by either side.

A Lewis Ferguson shot from just inside the area is comfortably palmed over by Liam Kelly.

Oofftt! If Ross Callachan gets a toe to that cross it could easily be 1-0 to County.

Against the run of play, Blair Spittal whips a ball in but Callachan is inches away from connecting.

Best chance of the game for Dundee United.

Peter Pawlett makes another driving run down the left, knocks the ball through to Ian Harkes whose shot is saved but deflects towards goal, and Joe Shaughnessy has to head off the line.

Injury blow for Livingston. Craig Sibbald leaves the pitch on a stretcher and Odin Bailey comes on. Sibbald seemed to get injured off the ball while Bruce Anderson was having that effort at goal.

David Turnbull sets his sights on goal 25 yards out and drills a low shot towards the bottom-left corner.

But the ball ripples the the wrong side of the near-post netting.

Livingston's first effort at goal is a solid and straight strike by Bruce Anderson that Adam Legzdins collects. The visitors have not had an abundance of possession in attacking areas and Anderson was right to take the shot on.

Albian Ajeti, you have to do better there.

A lovely breakaway sees the Swiss striker slipped through and he tries to open his body up Thierry Henry style, but it's a really tame effort straight at Ross Laidlaw.

Both sides struggling to get shots on target - none from either side so far.

Aberdeen finally manage to create two golden chances in quick succession.

Funso Ojo cannot quite reach a great cross from Jack MacKenzie and then Marley Watkins finds his attempts collected by Liam Kelly from five yards out.
