Hearts 0 - 0 Hibs RECAP: Goalkeepers on top in Edinburgh derby stalemate
The cinch Premiership’s headline game of the weekend comes from Tynecastle Park as Hearts face rivals Hibs.
Coming into the weekend following the return of SPFL action after the international break, the pair occupied the top two spots in the top-flight.
That changed on Saturday but the winner in Gorgie knows they can take top spot after five games.
It is the first Edinburgh derby since October, the first in the league since March and the first at Tynecastle Park since December 2019.
In recent meetings the away side have held the upper hand with the home team not winning in the last seven league fixtures.
The game has all the makings of a classic with both teams doing so well and the stadium set to be packed out with a full stand of away supporters.
We will have all the latest updates from the match, plus reaction and analysis throughout the afternoon.
