Hearts head to Kilmarnock for a second time this season seeking their first win over the Ayrshire club.

The two sides played out a 0-0 draw back in August, whilst the Jambos were unlucky to lose 0-1 at Tynecastle after playing most of the match with ten men.

Hearts can welcome Ian Black back to the squad after he missed Wednesday's defeat to Celtic through suspension.

It's a little over a year since Hearts defeated Kilmarnock. Stephen Elliott's late double at Rugby Park back in January 2011 sealed a big win for the JTs, who were at the time chasing third spot in the league,

Paulo Sergio's side are seeking their first win since January 14th, having lost two and drawn one of their last three games in all competitions.

Killie have only won twice in their last five matches, one of those coming in their League Cup semi final win over local rivals Ayr United.

Hearts can boast a decent overall record against today's opponents, with 83 league wins and 53 draws. Killie have managed 69 league victories overall.
