Hearts prepare to entertain Dundee United at Tynecastle Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Jambo's are clearly on top, having won 35 and lost only 15 of the 66 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tynecastle Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2004, with Hearts running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a Scottish Premier match.

Heart Of Midlothian's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 6 to 5.
The away form of Dundee Utd. is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. The Terrors have conceded 7 goals in these games, and only hit 2 in reply.
