Dundee prepare to entertain Motherwell at Dens Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Dees are clearly on top, having won 56 and lost only 21 of the 97 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Dens Park was less than a year ago, in November 2003, with Motherwell inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Dees in a Scottish Premier match.
