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

Lining up in a 3-4-3: Gordon; Souttar, Halkett, Cochrane; Smith, Haring, Baningime, Halliday; Woodburn, Boyce, Mackay-Steven.
Subs: Stewart, Walker, McEneff, Moore, Gnanduillet, Ginnelly, Pollock.
Little history
Incredibly, this is Hearts’ first game at Tannadice since February 2016. Both John Souttar and Jamie Walker were in the side defeated by the hosts 2-1 thanks to a thunderous late finish from Paul Paton. Walker notched the away side’s equaliser on the day.
Hearts have only won once in their last 11 trips to the stadium. That came in 2015 when Juanma netted the only goal of the game for Robbie Neilson’s newly promoted side. Hopefully that’s a good omen.
