Despite the previous incumbent winning his last two Edinburgh derbies home and away 3-0, there's a new face in the Hearts hotseat ahead of this weeknd's clash.
Steven Naismith has been appointed on an interim basis until the end of the season after Robbie neilson was sacked last Sunday. The former Rangers striker will be in the dugout at Easter Road on Saturday for his first match in charge and the demand from the fans is simply to win. It's not something Lee Johnson has managed since pitching up at Hibs last summer.
The former Hearts midfielder had Martin Boyle to thank for rescuing a last gasp point back in August. Since then however, he's headed across the capital and welcomed his former club across the city on Scottish Cup duty but the outcome was the same on both occasions. Johnson has been under pressure himself at different stages this season but has managed to ride it out. However, another derby defeat - especially one that sees them slip out of the top six, would pile it back on again.
Victory however, would see thirds place very much on as things tighten up behind Aberdeen. A draw isn't a whole lot of use to either, but taking the point and moving on to fight another day probably wouldn't be the worst outcome either. Here's how you can see the action.
