Dundee United v Hearts LIVE: Team news, updates and analysis from Tannadice

Substitute for Hearts as Woodburn pulls up with what appears to be a calf injury. He’s replaced by Ginnelly.

Halliday booked for handball as United try to launch a counter-attack.

United have swapped Clark and Levitt for Harkes and Butcher.

Another great chance for Haring from a cross. This time he doesn’t gamble on the ball reaching him as Edwards goes up for the header. Had he done so he would’ve had a simple finish from a couple of yards out.

The second half is underway.

Gordon 7; Souttar 8, Halkett 7, Cochrane 7; Smith 6, Haring 7, Baningime 6, Halliday 7; Woodburn 7, Boyce 7, Mackay-Steven 7

Boyce’s goal - which he celebrated by shushing the home fans - is the last action of the half as Robbie Neilson’s side take a deserved one-goal lead.

Boyce’s penalty is saved by Hearts but the ball comes back to the striker and he side-foots it into the other side before Carson can recover.

Edwards takes down Mackay-Steven

A huge chance for Hearts as Souttar picks out Haring rushing toward the six-yard box. It’s a free header for the Austrian but he glances it wide.

Robson is the second United player to be booked for a foul on Woodburn.
