Hearts manager Robbie Neilson has named his starting XI that will take on St Johnstone this afternoon.
They are without defenders Toby Sibbick and Alex Cochrane through suspension after the pair were sent off against Celtic last Sunday. Stephen Kingsley faced a fitness check after going off with a tight hamstring in Thursday’s Europa League defeat by Zurich and isn't used here.
Meanwhile, Craig Halkett is still out with a hamstring issue, as is long-term absentee Beni Baningime due to ACL damage with Barrie McKay and Lawrence Shankland dropping to the bench. This comes less than 72 hours after their Europa League play-off match with FC Zurich.
