Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland: "We've got a very strong record against Kilmarnock but we've always found it tough. That's testament to the squad and their motivation, they see Kilmarnock as a big game.
"We know Kilmarnock haven't scored a lot of goals of late so we anticipated they might go with a front two. But we'd like to impose ourselves and own the pitch."

Kilmarnock v Aberdeen (12:00)
Welcome to today's coverage of Kilmarnock against Aberdeen.
It may not be the Scottish Cup final, but it is a crucial Premiership game for both sides.
A win for Kilmarnock would put them one point off fifth place, which could potentially be a European place this season. Defeat and they remain level on points with St Johnstone and Hamilton, with the Accies currently occupying the relegation play-off spot.
A win for Aberdeen would put them above Hibernian into third, and level on points with Celtic.
