St Mirren preview: Struggling for form lately
While St Mirren have won two of their last three games, one of which was against Queen of South in the FA Cup, they haven't really been doing well recently. After all, St Mirren have lost five of their last six matches in the Premiership, so they will be looking for a win against Hears not just to secure a place in the next FA Cup round, but also to boost their morale.
Meanwhile, Alex Iacovitti and Conor McMenamin are currently out with injuries.
Predicted lineup: Hemming (GK), Tanser, Taylor, Gogic, Fraser, Bwomono, O'Hara, Boyd-Munce, Phillips, Mandron & Olusanya

When it comes to team news, Craig Halkett, Stephen Kingsley, and Frankie Kent.

Player to watch: Lawrence Shankland
The 29-year-old forward has been one of the main offensive weapons for Hearts in the league, with four goals and four assists to his name. When it comes to scoring, Hearts have relied on a few players, so no one really stands out since multiple players have four goals this season, but Shankland has also done well in assisting, so he's our player to watch in this game.
