The away side aren’t in great form at the moment and manager Lee Johnson could do without missing the services of Ryan Porteous, who is suspended for the match at Tynecastle Park. The Hibs boss is still trying to find the right blend after losing Martin Boyle for the season with a knee injury and has been using Porteous in the centre of the park of late.
Mykola Kukharevych is a doubt after pulling up prior to the defeat to Celtic in midweek, while Lewis Miller and Jake Doyle-Hayes (who is the subject of interest from Forest Green Rovers) continue to be sidelined.
This is the team we believe Johnson will go with...
