Hearts: You're The boss

DAVID SNEDDON from Polwarth thinks that injury-ravaged Hearts will face a tough task to overcome Dundee United at Tannadice

What would your team and formation be?

It's not easy to put a team together with so many injury problems – especially in defence. However, a makeshift team won at Pittodrie and a repeat at Tannadice is possible.

What are Dundee United's strengths and weaknesses?

They are always a dangerous team going forward and they won easily against Falkirk last week. However, they don't look as consistent yet under Peter Houston and they can blow hot and cold at times.

How will you counter their strengths and exploit their weaknesses?

It's going to be difficult for us to keep it tight at the back with questions over the fitness of three of our back four so the midfield will need to work extremely hard to protect the defence. If we can keep it tight, we looked dangerous on the break at Pittodrie and can try to hit United that way.

What do Hearts have to do to win the game?

Since JJ came in, we've been more clinical in front of goal and we will need to keep that up. I expect United to make most of the running so we need to soak up the pressure and try to hit them on the break.
