Hearts go into their biggest match of the season so far with plenty of intrigue over the starting XI. Daniel Stendel was quizzed on the goalkeeping situation, and while he gave little away he did confirm a change of goalkeeper was being considered. Elsewhere, both Michael Smith and Sean Clare had to come off in the 5-0 defeat to Celtic during the week. Although there is good news surrounding Toby Sibbick who is expected to return to the team, while Aaron Hickey could come into consideration.
