Jack Ross made one sole change as Hibernian ended their St Johnstone hoodoo with a 1-0 win at Easter Road, before their first Premiership defeat of the season at Ibrox as they lost 2-1 to Rangers before the international break. Jake Doyle-Hayes replaced Kyle Magennis, who is a potential injury doubt against United here, in the five man midfield. Hibernian are still without a few players due to long-term injuries such as Melker Hallberg and Christian Doidge. And, perhaps most notably, the Hibees will be without Ryan Porteous. The defender was sent off in Glasgow against the Gers and despite Hibs' greatest efforts, their appeal of the red card was unsuccessful. Tam Courts also made just one change after United claimed a superb point at Parkhead, by holding Celtic to a 1-1 draw, before succeeding that with a 1-0 victory over Ross County at Tannadice in their last Scottish Premiership match. It was a case of experience over youth as 35-year-old centre-back Charlie Mulgrew re-entered the fray to replace 16-year-old Kerr Smith in the United defence to partner Ryan Edwards once more. However, the Terrors could hand a debut to Maxime Biamou. The 30-year-old Frenchman has signed a deal initially until the end of the season after leaving English Championship side Coventry City.
Third hosts fifth as Hibernian and Dundee United go toe-to-toe at Easter Road, the Hibees edging out United by a sole point in the Premiership standings. The Hibees were handed their first league defeat of the season prior to the international break, albeit there's no shame in losing to Rangers at Ibrox. It'll be intriguing to see how Hibs respond after the international break, which has perhaps given them time to regroup, evaluate what's been a superb start to the season and attempt to create a game plan to get the better of a solid side. Remarkably, only Livingston (3) have scored fewer league goals than United this season. Yet, the Terrors are in the top six having ground out four 1-0 victories over Rangers, St Johnstone, Dundee and now Ross County highlighting their defensive solidity. It's such a cliché to say that you'd take a 1-0 win every week, but that's suiting United perfectly at present so far this season. Hibs score plenty goals and United don't concede many, meaning that we're set up for a very intriguing encounter. However, the Hibees tore the Terrors apart at Tannadice earlier on in the season and are capable of doing so again at Easter Road. 2:0
