Hearts find themselves with the opportunity to jump into fourth place when they entertain Dundee United at Tynecastle Stadium in this live football match. Stephen Frail has seen an amazing turn around for the Edinburgh club who have now won their last 3 games in a row including a win in the CIS Cup and also the catalyst to the turnaround in a 4-2 win over Rangers.

Their recent form has been a revelation for a club who not so long ago seemed destined to a very hard season spent at the bottom end of the table and could if the results go their way find themselves only two points behind Rangers.

Stephen Frail the assistant manager has stated that his players have worked hard to improve their form and none more so than winger Andrew Driver who won the Scottish Premier League young player of the month award for September and in doing so showed the all round improvement in the side which has now become one of the most free scoring in the league.

Craig Levein may be feeling apprehensive for this fixture even if he is not showing it as he knows his side are starting to show an inconsistency which creates problems for them in the run up to the Christmas fixtures. Despite not conceding any goals at home Dundee United have conceded 8 on their travels, which has seen them record only one victory and three defeats, hence the reason for Levein’s concern.

How the Dundee United fans would love Noel Hunt to return to his goal scoring ways as they know better than any one that without a goal scorer they will start to drop down the table and end any chances of silver ware before the start of the New Year.
