Not a lot of news coming out pf Hibs this week, seem to be keeping a low profile.
The game against a United for me will be a marker for this new Hibs team. United on a bit of a role again, and they seem to have all their big players back.
Can't see too many changes from Saturday's starting 11 unless Clancy is fit.
Hopefully get a decent performance

Huge game on Sunday

It is. The huge comeback against Celtic and the win in midweek will see them on a role. Will be a toughie

Yep, after all the hilarity from the last few days regarding the news from the paupers across the city, we should now be focusing on what is a massive game for us on Sunday.
We have a shocking record against Dundee Utd in recent years and it will be a big opportunity for us to keep the pressure on Celtic and also to pull further away from the other teams in the league.
I'm unfortunately working on Sunday so I won't be able to make it but I hope we see a big crowd for this match and we can continue our excellent start to the season.

Completely agree with the OP, this is a major test of the "new" Hibs. People obsess about the lack of wins against Hearts, but the record against Dundee United is arguably worse over (say) a 5 year period, which reflects the decline of Hibs since 2007 and their consistency in the same period. The only game I can recall Hibs winning in the last four years against them was when they were resting players ahead of a cup final and Hibs had to win to get a European place. If Hibs can win (or even get the better end of a draw) in a game like this it would be a significant step forward.

Need to get back at them for the start of the season.
Serious dislike toward UTD and don't even really know why, but we should manage the points cause I think we are better than them. When Is Deegan back?

I think every game so far this season has been labeled as important, as they should be. It is key for us to make up for our heavy loss at the start of the season to show the kind of progression we have made. I'm fairly certain Deegan hasn't trained yet, he went back to the ground to say hello to his team mates, I believe that is all for now, probably this year. Unfortunately. I'm sure Taiwo will come into a game though, really impressed me against Motherwell.

Cheesed off I'm missing this. The atmosphere will be tremendous with Thomson the ref and our neighbours predicament.
Utd are coming onto a bit of form and have players returning to full fitness. We'll need to be at our best to get a win but I thought Griffiths had his best game for us on Saturday so fingers crossed."Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.' - Paulo Freire

looking forward to this one, and hoping to hear some new songs from S43 dont like D.Utd for some reason,maybe because they've had the Indian sign on us for so long.this game will be a test of our character, as we've had a few breaks recently.however, the ref wont give us the benefit o' a 50/50 throw in in our own half if he can get away wi' it. we will need to earn a result,and can expect nae favours at all.

Somebody to start a song about Hearts going bust and Thomson to lose the head and do everything he can to ruin the game.

I have always found that it is utd fans that hate us, never understood why?. Is it because they resent the fact we had a hand in their formation back in the day or maybe because we enjoyed dundee winning so much back in 86. Whatever it is, I feel like because they hate us so much I am obligated to respond in the same manner.

Could it be a casual/hooligan thing? There were a number of incidents between the two sets over the years. Clutching at straws but might be something there

I'm sure they hate us after the match at ER when they put the ball out for an injured player and we kept it. Matty Jack I think. Throw in , corner, penalty, goal Latapy, Combe sent off.

Do they hate us? I have enjoyed decent banter before and after matches with United fans down the years.

i would agree with that every game seems like its vital because of whats happened in the previous 2 seasons everyone still has that little bit of fear that we might return to that level again and i feel that is whats driving us on this season its the determination to never let us drop our standards. Were a team with something to prove and that makes us dangerous

Deegan definitely out
Clancy probably out
Barry Douglas out for United, which means Gunning playing out of position at left back.
