There is, however, a not-so-minor complication with this being the last game before Robbie Neilson’s side embark on their European adventure with the first-leg trip to FC Zurich in the Europa League play-off.
The Tynecastle side are still looking to bring in at least a couple of more bodies before the end of the window, but at present the squad is still a little light on numbers. Will this mean any rotation? Will Neilson stick with the 4-4-2 or go back to the 3-4-3 after changing his system in the second half of the derby?
What we do know is that Stephen Kingsley is likely to be involved at some point after recovering from injury, just probably not from the start.
Here’s what we think the team will be...

He's still to get his first clean sheet of the campaign. Surely it's about time? Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
2. DR - Michael Smith
The switch to the 3-4-3 during last week's derby was a controversial one in the eyes of Hearts fans, so expect Smith to retain his spot at right-back. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
3. DL - Alex Cochrane
Has enjoyed a very strong start to the season. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
4. DRC - Craig Halkett
He will be looking to make amends after last week. Both he and his centre-back partner had excellent games until the move which led to Hibs' equaliser. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
