Kenneth set to sit out Saints trip

The defender is nursing a knee injury, sustained against Hamilton in midweek, and is unlikely to recover in time. United are also without Paul Dixon (ankle), Andy Webster (calf) and Mihael Kovacevic (nose), so new signing Pavels Mihadjuks will again play in a patched-up defence. Francisco Sandaza (groin), Lee Wilkie (knee), Danny Cadamarteri (calf) and Scott Robertson (groin) are also ruled out. United (from): Pernis, Dods, Kenneth, Mihadjuks, Hill, Dillon, Buaben, Gomis, D Robertson, Swanson, Conway, Shala, Myrie-Williams, Daly, Goodwillie, Casalinuovo, Banks.
