What channel is Hearts v Dundee United? TV and live stream plus team news, referee and VAR

Hearts and Dundee United square off in a key battle for a top six place in the William Hill Premiership at Tynecastle Park on Sunday.

Both sides have it in their own hands to secure a top half finish in the table with two matches remaining before the league splits into two sections.

Dundee United will have already clinched their top six place place ahead of the match if St Mirren fail to defeat Dundee at Dens Park on Saturday. A St Mirren victory, however, would mean United require a point at Tynecastle to mathematically secure top six.

Hearts will remain in the top six regardless of results elsewhere if they beat United - and could secure their spot with one match to spare if both Motherwell and St Mirren lose on Saturday.

It would be a notable achievement for head coach Neil Critchley, who took over a Hearts side who were bottom of the Premiership and still searching for their first win of the season when they sacked Steven Naismith in September.

Securing top six would also be a feather in the cap of United boss Jim Goodwin in what is his side’s first season back in the top flight after winning promotion from the Championship last term.
