Hearts prepare to entertain Motherwell at Tynecastle Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, looking to continue an impressive record. The Jambo's are clearly on top, having won 67 and lost only 22 of the 118 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tynecastle Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2003, the Jambo's carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
