Hibernian prepare to entertain Motherwell at Easter Road Stadium on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Hibees are clearly on top, having won 68 and lost only 25 of the 125 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was earlier this season, as the visitors ran out cosy 2-4 winners in a Scottish League Cup match.
