Player to watch: Martin Boyle
One of the main driving forces behind Hibernian's recent surge has been Boyle and the experienced Australian is the team's top scorer in the Premiership this season with seven goals.
In addition to this, Boyle also added four assists to his tally of goal contributions, so Hearts will have to keep a close eye on him in this match.
