Team News
Hibernian
Hearts
- Hibs boss Nick Montgomery named two changes to the Hibernian team that recorded a sole-goal success away to Livingston, before they fell to defeat against St Johnstone in Perth by the same 1-0 scoreline the weekend before last.
- Lewis Miller took Rory Whittaker's place at right-back, to join Will Fish, Paul Hanlon and Jordan Obita in the back four. Dylan Levitt was joined by James Jeggo, as opposed to the suspended Joe Newell, in the middle of the park.
- Élie Youan and Jair Tavares continued on the flanks, as Martin Boyle partnered Dylan Vente in attack. The Hibees are still without injured quartet Chris Cadden, Jake Doyle-Hayes, Adam Le Fondre and Harry McKirdy.
- Hearts boss Steven Naismith made three changes after the Jambos clinched a shock 2-0 victory over Celtic at Parkhead a fortnight ago, before a win at the weekend against St Mirren at Tynecastle by the same scoreline.
- Stephen Kingsley, who scored a cracking free-kick away to the league leaders, picked up an injury at Celtic Park so made way for Craig Halkett to join Kye Rowles and Frankie Kent in the Hearts' back three.
- Beni Baningime and Aidan Denholm remained in midfield. Barrie McKay and Yutaro Oda replaced Jorge Grant and Alan Forrest, both looking to provide for the Jambos' main marksman Lawrence Shankland - who bagged a brace against the Buddies - in attack.
