Is Hearts vs Dundee United on TV and could match be postponed? Live stream details, referee and kick-off time

Hearts are on the road to Tannadice this weekend as they face Dundee United in the Premiership.

The Jambos are top of the league and four points clear of second-placed Rangers after a draw with Celtic last weekend. They now have a chance to make that gap seven before Rangers travel to Hibs on Sunday, if they can get the better of Jim Goodwin’s side on their own patch, like they did back in August during a dramatic 3-2 win.

It’s another TV game for Hearts fans and an amended kick-off too, but there are some postponement concerns lingering. Here are all the details you need to know about the game between Dundee United and Hearts.

Could Dundee United vs Hearts be postponed?

Dundee United staff are working around the clock in an effort to ensure Saturday’s game against Hearts goes ahead. United’s pitch is under heavy weather as Storm Chandra impacts the United Kingdom and there is no guarantee yet it will survive to host this weekend’s fixture, after last weekend’s game with St Mirren was called off amid a waterlogged pitch.

Boss Jim Goodwin said: “The ground staff and everybody at Tannadice is working day and night to try and make sure the game goes ahead against Hearts. We just hope and pray it does. We are in the lap of the Gods with the weather the way it is. The forecast doesn’t look too great so we will need to wait and see what happens. We hope the game goes on because we can’t afford for another one to be cancelled. You don’t want a backlog of games to catch-up on.”

A statement on last weekend’s call-off read: “Following an inspection of the playing surface at the Calforth Construction Arena at Tannadice Park, our William Hill Premiership clash with St Mirren has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. Match information for the rescheduled fixture will be communicated with supporters in due course.”
