Neil Critchley’s 4-4-2 system is bearing fruit for Hearts at the moment as they travel to Dundee unbeaten in six games. Team shape is looking more familiar with each week and players are now understanding what the head coach wants.

Or it could mean another opportunity for Lewis Neilson, who replaced Halkett after 11 minutes last Saturday.
Elsewhere, there is a decisions for Critchley to make at right-back, although the rest of his team almost picks itself. Below is our predicted Hearts line-up for Dens Park:
