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."
