Match preview

Hibernian can send their great rivals Hearts closer to the drop with a win in the Edinburgh derby at Easter Road.

Hearts grabbed a superb victory against Rangers on Saturday in the William Hill Scottish Cup, but they would swap that for survival.

It's doubtful that Daniel Stendel's side have the defensive backbone to keep out Hibs' terrific trio of Marc McNulty, Christian Doidge and Martin Boyle, who are capable of hurting any team.

Hearts defender John Souttar is out for the season and that's the last thing the Jambos need. Jack Ross's men look a good bet to pile on the pain.

Key stat

Hearts have not kept a clean sheet in the league since October.
