Hibernian preview: Looking to build on their great run

With 12 games in a row without a loss in the league (14 overall), Hibernian are the hottest team in the Premiership right now. They've managed to climb the standings all the way to fourth place and they're just one point behind Aberdeen in third. Celtic and Rangers though remain too far ahead, but Hibs have a nice chance to secure European football for next season if they can keep this good form going.

Meanwhile, Thody Elie Youan is the only player on the team's injury list heading into this match.

Predicted lineup: Smith (GK), O'Hora, Kiranga, Iredale, Miller, Moriah-Welsh, Triantis, Cadden, Hoilett, Boyle & Bowie

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.
