Andy Walker's prediction: 3-1
Hibernian vs Aberdeen - Sunday, 4.30pm, live on Sky Sports
Hibernian forward Kevin Nisbet remains a doubt ahead of the Scottish Premiership visit of Aberdeen. The striker missed last weekend's win over St Johnstone with a hamstring problem and is rated "touch and go" for Sunday's game.
Head coach Jack Ross has no other injury problems.
Funso Ojo returns from suspension for Aberdeen after missing the midweek victory over NSI Runavik. Craig Bryson missed the Europa League win with a calf injury while Niall McGinn only played eight minutes after shrugging off a foot injury.
Key stat: Hibs have won four of their five league games this season (D1), keeping a clean sheet in their last three matches. They last kept a shutout in four consecutive top-flight fixtures in March 2009 under Mixu Paatelainen, when the fourth clean sheet was at home to Aberdeen.
