The first Edinburgh derby of the season probably comes at the worst time for both clubs.
Both Craig Levein and Paul Heckigbottom finds themselves under pressure from their own sets of fans, if not boards just yet, after wretched starts to the season.
The pair go head to head at Easter Road for the first time this season on Sunday, with a defeat for either likely to be impossible to come back from in the eyes of their respective sets of fans.
For Hibs, it would represent just a second league win of the season since the opening day victory over St Mirren.
For Hearts , it would be a first league win of any kind and while timely, would be just a good start to a vital few days, with the Betfred Cup quarter-final against Aberdeen at Tynecastle just days later. Hibs travel to Kilmarnock for theirs.
