The two Edinburgh rivals go head to head in the Scottish Cup with a win vital for both Hearts and Hibs.
The duo took their capital clash to Hampden last season with Robbie Neilson's men running out 2-1 winners at Hampden before going on to lose the final against Rangers after extra-time. They met at the same stage in 2020 in front of no fans during the Covid pandemic, with then-Championship Hearts winning by the same scoreline to reach the final against Celtic, which they also lost on penalties. Will there be more more showpiece finals for the Jambos this term?
Not if Hibs have anything to say about it. Lee Johnson is in dire need of a landmark win and can look to the history books for encouragement with the Leith side enjoying three wins in the cup since their 5-1 mauling at Hampden. They season after the 2012 thumping Hibs earned a 1-0 win, before a 1-0 replay victory following a dramatic 2-2 draw at Tynecastle in 2016 as Alan Stubbs' men went on to lift the trophy. Neil Lennon then knocked the Jambos out in 2017, beating Ian Cathro's side 3-1 in Leith after a goalless draw in Gorgie.
