- Hearts boss Steven Naismith made two enforced changes after Kilmarnock held the men in maroon at home in a 1-1 draw at Tynecastle, before the Jambos bounced back with an impressive 2-1 win in Paisley over St Mirren on Saturday.
- Kye Rowles accompanied Stephen Kingsley and Frankie Kent as Hearts shifted to a back three. Dexter Lembikisa and Alex Cochrane changed to become right wing-back and left wing-back respectively, as the ill Beni Baningime made way.
- Cammy Devlin joined teenage talent Macaulay Tait and Jorge Grant, who slotted the Jambos ahead in Paisley from the spot, in the middle of the park. Lawrence Shankland, Hearts' main marksman, was also ill as Kenneth Vargas and Alan Forrest started in attack.
- Davie Martindale named just one change to the Livingston team that was swept aside by Celtic 3-0 in West Lothian, before they held Aberdeen to a 0-0 draw in their last home match on Saturday afternoon.
- Sean Kelly has filled in at left-back, with Jamie Brandon continuing at right wing-back. Michael Nottingham, Ayo Obileye and club captain Mikey Devlin remained the three centre halves in front of Shamal George in goal.
- Jason Holt dropped out of the Livi midfield, with Stephen Kelly and Scott Pittman chosen against Aberdeen. Dan Mackay took his place on the right hand side, with Steven Bradley on the left flank in support of lone striker Tete Yengi.
