Why are United thriving away from Tannadice?
You could make a case we should have beaten Rangers and Falkirk at Tannadice, but we didn't. The trips to Kilmarnock and St Mirren, though, produced two magnificent performances. Tannadice on match days can be an unforgiving place.
Kilmarnock v Hearts: Pick of the stats
Kilmarnock have lost all three of their home league games this season, last losing four in a row in the Scottish Premiership in August 2017, and last doing so within a single campaign in May 2015. Hearts have scored a league-high four goals from set-pieces (excluding penalties) in the Premiership this season, while Kilmarnock have conceded the most from non-penalty set-pieces (5). After their 1-0 victory in March, Kilmarnock are looking for back-to-back home wins over Hearts in the league for the first time since March 2014.

Gray knows the consequences if slump continues
The lack of consistency from Hibs is alarming, but not a surprise. Tuesday night's home defeat by Kilmarnock - Hibs' third successive league loss and sixth in a row at home in the Premiership - came after one of the poorest performances at Easter Road I can remember in recent years. The statistics show Hibs dominated possession and had more shots on goal than Kilmarnock, but they rarely troubled Max Stryjek in the visitors' goal.
Aberdeen may be disciplined over fan behaviour
Aberdeen could face disciplinary action after some supporters invaded the Rugby Park pitch following their cup win over Kilmarnock.
Robinson 'out his depth' & Aberdeen 'going backwards'
Dons fans, we asked for your views after Saturday's goalless draw against Kilmarnock. Just down the road is Simon Murray who would jump at the chance to join the Dons but the short-sighted board just do not see it. Kilmarnock looked the better team all day.
'This team may surprise us all once they gel'
United fans, we asked for your views on Saturday's 4-0 win over Kilmarnock. John: The performance against Killie was a surprise to many United fans. The Will Ferry situation is a difficult one, personally I would like to keep him as he is worth more on the pitch than pounds in the pocket of chairman Mark Ogren.

St Johnstone 4-3 Kilmarnock: What Valakari said
It was a big day for the club, to see the Championship flag and play our first Premiership game in front of our fans. It was important to win today because those three points will stay with us until the end of the season.
Will Killie find goalscoring touch in time for season opener?
Four games, no defeats or goals conceded in 90 minutes, it's been a stellar start to the season defensively for Kilmarnock. Across 360 minutes of Premier Sports Cup action, Neil McCann's side could only muster two goals: a last-minute winner against Elgin City and a second-half strike against Hamilton Academical. A strong finish to last season avoided any relegation trouble, with Joe Hugill scoring eight goals in 15 appearances, while Tyreece John-Jules scored five in his final four games before an injury ruled him out of the last stretch of matches.
Kilmarnock sell left-back Thompson to Beveren
Kilmarnock have sold left-back Dominic Thompson to Belgian top-flight club Beveren. The 25-year-old Englishman, who has signed a two-year contract with the side who won the Challenger Pro League to earn promotion last season, joined Kilmarnock from Scottish Premiership rivals Motherwell last summer. Thompson told Beveren's website he was pleased to join a team that "comes into this with a lot of confidence after an incredible unbeaten season".
Goals will come for Kilmarnock, says Kiltie
Greg Kiltie has "full faith" Kilmarnock will find their scoring form once the Premiership season gets under way. Despite creating a slew of chances, the Ayrshire side drew a blank in a goalless draw at Peterhead in their final Premier Sports Cup group game on Saturday. Despite losing the penalty shootout, a point was enough to ensure they finished top of Group H and progressed to the last 16.
Mayo relishing 'step up in pressure' at Aberdeen
Defender Lewis Mayo has described his move to Aberdeen as "a step up in expectation and pressure". Mayo arrived at Pittodrie from Kilmarnock on a three-year deal earlier this summer and has settled in well, being deployed at centre half – and right back – helping the Dons to victory in all three of their League Cup group stage games so far. "It is a fresh start for me," the 26-year-old said ahead of Aberdeen's next League Cup game against Kelty Hearts.
Livingston 1-4 Kilmarnock: What Arfield said
Get ready for pre-season and the Cup competitions and hit the ground running to get the calibre of player through these doors to get the club back to the top division. If it is here, then obviously I'll do my best to get the club back up.
Play-off pressure piles up for St Mirren v Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock's trip to visit St Mirren on Saturday could potentially decide which of the sides is consigned to a play-off to avoid relegation from the Scottish Premiership.
St Mirren v Livingston: Pick of the stats
St Mirren have lost just one of their past 16 Scottish Premiership meetings with Livingston (W7 D8), going down 1-0 away from home in February 2024. Livingston won their first-ever Premiership visit to St Mirren 2-0 in August 2018, but have since failed to win 10 such trips in the competition (D4 L6), losing their past four in a row and failing to score in their latest three. Depending on Kilmarnock's result at Aberdeen, Livingston could be relegated this weekend should they fail to beat St Mirren.
Dundee can take nothing for granted in bottom-six battle
For all I have been praising Dundee in recent times, the stark truth is they find themselves in their current predicament because their points return has not been good enough having won just two of their past 12 Premiership games. Head coach Steven Pressley praised the "character", "personality" and "resilience" his side showed as they twice came from behind to draw 2-2 at Killie last Saturday. In the 15 league games the Dark Blues have played against the other teams in the bottom half this season – Dundee United, Aberdeen, St Mirren, Kilmarnock and Livingston - Pressley's side have won five, drawn six and lost four.
Dons boss Robinson will not relax until safety is secured
Stephen Robinson does not want Aberdeen to relax during their two-week break after they recorded a much-needed 2-0 win over Hibernian to boost their William Hill Premiership survival hopes. Kevin Nisbet netted from the penalty spot after Grant Hanley was sent off for hauling down Toyosi Olusanya and the Scotland striker added a second with 15 minutes to go to end a nine-match winless league run. The Dons are five points above Kilmarnock, who sit in the relegation play-off spot with five games to play, and the two teams clash at Pittodrie in the next round of Premiership fixtures which does not take place until April 25.
Killie players 'needed a telling off', says Deas
Robbie Deas says Kilmarnock players "needed a telling off" to help turn around their form this season. Killie travel to face Hibs on Saturday with the chance to exit the relegation play-off spot following their back-to-back wins over Livingston and table-toppers Hearts before the international break.
