Dundee Utd vs Hearts LIVE as McInnes makes 3 changes with Craig Gordon dropping to bench

Seven points clear with 14 games to play. That could be the enviable position Hearts find themselves in at the close of play at Tannadice tonight.

The Jambos are approaching the home straight of an unbelievable season that's seen them take the fight to Glasgow's big two. And with Rangers and Celtic not in action til tomorrow, all eyes are on the Jambos tonight to see if they can stretch their lead and keep the pressure on.

They're up against a Dundee United side though. They're fighting for their own season with Falkirk threatening to pull the ladder up behind them in the battle for the top six, and they can't afford many more stumbles. They also know the chance is there to leap ahead of rivals Aberdeen – which is no small prize for Jim Goodwin's team.

It's two sides with plenty to play for under the lights at Tannadice. And it could be an absolute cracker.
