Dundee travel to Tynecastle in search of their first goal and first win of the SPL season. After defeats to Ross County and Queens Park in the last week, Dundee look to try and revive their season with a win at Tynecastle against a Hearts side full of confidence after a decent start to the season and a hearty draw at Anfield against Liverpool in the Europa League during the week.
Dundee's injury worries continue with further additions to the injury list including Stephen O'Donnell, Neil McGregor, Lewis Toshney, along with Kevin McBride, Carl Finnigan, Mark Stewart, Kyle Bennedictus and Nicky Riley.
Hearts have new signing Ryan Stevenson in the squad but have lost David Templeton who elected to join Third Division side, Rangers before the transfer window closed on Friday night.
Speaking to the BBC, Barry Smith was determined that his side will turn around their misfortunes sooner rather than later and spoke of how they were disappointed to lose to lower division opposition in the cup during the week.
"We were all very disappointed with what happened the other night, but it's in the past now as far as we're concerned.
"We just have to move on and try to make amends with the Hearts game being out first chance to bounce back.
"It's been a pretty tough start to the season, which we knew would always be the case, but we'll still go to Tynecastle to try and get a result
"The boys are hurting, so in football you always look to the next game to try and take our your frustration.
"Hearts are next up for us and, although, they're a good side with lots of quality players, we'll be focusing on ourselves and what we hope to do.
