Hearts, Recent FormHearts will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 away win against St Mirren. In that game they had 42% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to St Mirren who had 6 attempts and 1 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have been performing well at Tynecastle Park recently and are unbeaten in their last 8 home games.
On an individual basis, Lawrence Shankland will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 20 goals in Hearts' 32 league games this season.
Livingston, Recent FormLivingston will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 0-0 result against Aberdeen last time out. They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Aberdeen's tally of 5 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
With 4 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 13 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. They've conceded a goal in each of their last 25 away games, and overall this season they have failed to score in 17 of their 32 games played.
An away win for Livingston is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 14 games.
Bruce Anderson will be hoping to create problems for Hearts in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Livingston.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Hearts produced a comfortable 1-2 victory.
When playing away from home in the league, Livi have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 5 matches against Hearts.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Hearts has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Livingston in 4 games.
Hearts manager Steven Naismith has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Beni Baningime (Illness), Liam Boyce (Leg), Craig Halkett (Knee) and Peter Haring (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
David Martindale has a number of injury concerns in his Livingston squad to contend with: Jamie Brandon (Cruciate ligament), Daniel Mackay (Ankle), Cristian Montaño (Hamstring), James Penrice (Hip) and Andrew Shinnie (Groin)
