Hibernian head coach Paul Heckingbottom expects to have an unchanged squad for the Edinburgh derby.
Darnell Johnson (ankle), Steven Whittaker (groin) and Thomas Agyepong (thigh) are still working their way back while Ryan Gauld (hamstring) remains out of the Hearts game.
Long-term absentees Martin Boyle and Ryan Porteous (both knee) are also missing.
Hibs defender David Gray said: "We've done really well to get ourselves into that position.
"We always had short-term goals, we didn't want to look too far ahead of ourselves.
"We have been saying all season that we want to be fighting at the top end of the league but the situation 10 weeks ago was we weren't there.
"We had a lot of ground to make up to get in the top six and thankfully we have been able to do it. We always thought we were able to do it but it was always one game at a time and always chasing the team in front of us.
"That's the way it has been for the last six or seven weeks and now that team is Hearts and we have an opportunity to go above them again on Saturday. That's what we want to do, definitely."
