Many would have viewed this as an important fixture in the second tier title race back in the summer when the fixture list was released. These two teams were meant to be first and second in the league.

While Hearts have maintained their side of the bargain as odds-on pre-season favourites, Dundee have struggled. Last weekend they dropped out of the play-off spots after a run of four games without a win, since beating Hearts 3-1 at Dens Park at the start of the year. However, they defeated Inverness CT during the week to jump back into fourth.

The Tynecastle side have been on a three game winless streak, drawing all three 1-1. But they still have a strong lead at the top of the Championship.

Performances have been criticised and Robbie Neilson will be hoping for a display the standard of the opening game of the league season when Hearts thumped Dundee 6-2.

We will have all the action from Tynecastle throughout the afternoon.
