After their blistering start to the season, Aberdeen are without a win in their last five Premiership games and they could lose their place in second if that does not change on Saturday.

While the Dons have struggled of late, it was Hibs' thrilling comeback for a 3-3 draw with Jimmy Thelin's side that appears to have kick-started their season.
