Hibernian prepare to entertain Kilmarnock at Easter Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Hibees are clearly on top, having won 52 and lost only 18 of the 93 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was earlier this season, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a Scottish Premier match.
