Hearts team news v Arbroath as Robbie Neilson makes Jamie Walker decision

The Hearts team to take on Arbroath at Gayfield this afternoon has been confirmed.

The Jambos are four wins away from winning the Championship title and Robbie Neilson wants them to win every game from now until the end of the season.

And the Tynecastle boss has kept faith with the starting XI that's won the last two games.

Many fans called for the inclusion for Jamie Walker from the start after several impressive outings off the bench, including coming on to score the second goal against Ayr United last week.

But the number seven is amongst the subs again as Hearts go unchanged for the third game in succession.

Liam Boyce partners Armand Gnanduillet up front with Gary Mackay-Steven at the tip of the diamond behind them.

Andy Irving is at the base with Aaron McEneff and Andy Halliday ahead of him, while the back line is along usual lines, although it will be Craig Gordon and Michael Smith's last appearance for a couple of weeks before heading off on international duty.

Peter Haring remains suspended after his straight red card against Dundee.

Hearts XI: Gordon, Smith, Halkett, Popescu, Kingsley, Irving, McEneff, Halliday, Walker, Boyce, Gnanduillet

Subs: Stewart, White, Berra, Walker, Frear, Kastaneer, Henderson.
