Lennon, meanwhile, has dismissed United counterpart Ray McKinnon’s theory that Hibs could crumble under the weight of expectation of trying to achieve promotion back to the top flight at the third time of asking.Hibs drew 1-1 with United at Easter Road in October and have won four of their last five league matches.Lennon added: “I’ve seen no evidence of that so far and I don’t know what he means by saying we could crumble. You either play well or you don’t, you either win or you don’t. If anything the pressure is on Dundee United. If they lose the game on Friday, where do they go? They’re six points behind chasing us.“If they win, they’re still behind us so all the pressure is on them really. We’re fine. I’ve not seen any evidence of a lack of mentality creeping in.”With a crowd in excess of 11,000 expected at Tannadice for the televised encounter, Lennon added: “And being at home, they’ll have a big crowd for the first time in a while and it will be interesting to see how they handle it.“It’s been built up to be a big game but we’re only at the beginning of December, it’s not going to finalise or settle anything. You’ve got two teams who are in form that are first and second. In the context of the Championship it’s a big game but I don’t think the result will have any bearing on the outcome.“What it will do is give us a chance to extend our lead at the top of the table. If we lose the game we’ll still be top of the table.”
