Hibs lost 1-0 at Tannadice earlier in the season but had a very strong record over the Tangerines in Dundee prior to that, winning five straight between August 2020 and December 2021.

Manager thoughts

Hibs manager Lee Johnson said: ““We know when we play well that we can infiltrate any backline in the division. We have to play on the front foot. It’s a unique ground and environment to play at. We will take a really good support and that’ll really help us. The next three games are big because we want to achieve something. It’s been a battle but we’re in the mix to have potential for success.

Dundee United boss Jim Goodwin said: “I know Lee will be hurting from the last three defeats and he'll no doubt be looking for a reaction for his players. So it should make for a very good, open, entertaining game on Sunday."

Bookies’ odds

Dundee United 12/5, Draw 12/5, Hibs 23/20 with Bet365.
