How to watch Motherwell v Aberdeen
Motherwell host Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday and while both are still searching for their first league win of the season, the feeling around each club could not be more different.
While the Steelmen have earned praise for the style of football played under Danish head coach Jens Berthel Askou which has seen them start the campaign unbeaten with five consecutive draws, the Dons are rock bottom of the table with just one point from a possible 15 and are yet to score a goal.
It is a desperate situation for Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin to find himself in, just four months after being hailed a hero for guiding the club to a first Scottish Cup win in 35 years after beating Celtic on penalties in the final at Hampden Park.
Some fans are now calling for the Swede to be sacked, which will only grow louder if his team do not claim any points while failing to end their goal drought at Fir Park against a side who dumped them out of the Premier Sports Cup quarter-finals at Pittodrie with a 1-0 victory last weekend.
