It was the final matchday ahead of the November international break, and Motherwell were on the road to the side with the third-best form in the league, Dundee United.  The Steelmen were looking to extend their unbeaten run to three, but coming up against a side who hadn't tasted defeat in six, the task was always going to be difficult. But Lukas Fadinger dispatched his penalty confidently in the early stages of the match following a trip on Tawanda Maswanhise, and from there, the game became open and end-to-end. Dundee United did equalise, and incredibly, it would be the only two goals in the match that had over 40 attempts at goal.

Manager Alfred Johansson says keeping a level state of emotion within the building is important, as he wants his players to be too high or too low.  Johansson has been impressed by Jim Goodwin's Dundee United side, and speaks about he thinks the match on Saturday could unfold.

Callum Hendry is pleased to be back fit and playing following an injury-filled six months at Motherwell. Hendry is delighted to be back playing and hopes to muscle his way into Alfred Johansson's plans.  The striker reflects on a difficult few months and how he plans to catch up on missed time on the pitch.

It had been seven games since Motherwell had tasted victory, and after two strong performances that included coming within seconds of victory against St Johnstone earlier in the week, the stakes couldn't have been higher when St Mirren visited North Lanarkshire.  The performance levels have been strong over the last few games, but manager Alfred Johansson wanted his side to tighten up in both boxes. Defensively, Alex Paulsen had very little to do, and the chances arrived for Ibrahim Said, Tawanda Maswanhise and Jake Girdwood-Reich, but nobody could convert. As the game ticked closer to its conclusion, it looked like it could have been another near miss. But when Regan Charles-Cook chased down a ball in behind and the St Mirren defender used his arm to take the ball away, VAR had no choice but to intervene. Lukas Fadinger dispatched the subsequent penalty, as a sigh of relief was blown around the stadium.
