Dundee Utd. face a trip to Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Terrors will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 39 and win only 17 of the 72 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2008, the Jambo's carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
