Nick Montgomery has named an unchanged starting XI to face Hearts this evening! 

The Gaffer has selected the same side that beat Dundee 2-1 at the weekend. That means David Marshall starts in goal behind a back-four of Lewis Miller, Will Fish, Rocky Bushiri and Jordan Obita.

Joe Newell captains the Hibees this evening, alongside Emiliano Marcondes and Nathan Moriah-Welsh who are both making their first appearance in this fixture.

It is also a first Edinburgh Derby appearance for Myziane Maolida, who forms part of a front three including Dylan Vente and Martin Boyle.

The only change is on the bench, with Luke Amos dropping out of the match day squad with a knock. Dylan Levitt has recovered from illness and is named on the bench alongside Paul Hanlon, Lewis Stevenson and Nectar Triantis. 

Montgomery has plenty of attacking options to choose from this evening with Adam Le Fondre, Elie Youan, Eliezer Mayenda and Jair Tavares all named among the substitutes. 

Chris Cadden has travelled with the team but misses out of the matchday squad, whilst Josh Campbell and Jake Doyle-Hayes remain longer term injuries.
