How to watch Motherwell v Aberdeen

Aberdeen will look to arrest their alarming slump when they travel to Motherwell on Sunday.

The 2-1 defeat by Ross County at Pittodrie on Thursday meant the Dons have gone nine games without a win, with four consecutive defeats leaving them in fourth place in the William Hill Premiership table.

It is a far cry from early in the season when the Jimmy Thelin's side went on an 11-game unbeaten run in the league to move into second place behind Celtic to foster notions of a title race.

Motherwell, meanwhile, will be looking for a response to their poor display at Tynecastle which saw them lose 1-0 to Hearts in their opening match of 2025.

Manager Stuart Kettlewell has a number of injuries to contend with - including influential captain Lennon Miller who will be missing for six to eight weeks with a hairline fracture in his ankle - but warned his players they cannot go through the motions after admitting the narrow defeat to Hearts "flattered" his side.
