Midweek features heavyweight matches in Germany and Italy, but British clubs capture attention. Chelsea and Arsenal meet in EFL Cup semi-final first leg in west London. Hearts aim to extend their Premiership lead to six points at Tynecastle against St. Mirren. Hearts have consecutive 1-0 wins, consecutive Premiership clean sheets for first time since October, and five wins from six top-flight matches. Hearts beat Rangers 2-1 last month and have suffered only one home defeat this season. St. Mirren struggled after last season's top-half finish and face relegation battle in 2026.
"Embarking on what has become a famous Premiership fairytale, Hearts have only continued to shatter a string of records. In the midst of an iconic purple patch and riding a major wave of momentum, Derek McInnes' men can once again widen their buffer at the top of the table to six points here. With the mood around Tynecastle at a red-hot high, the Jambos will be smelling the chance to make another title statement on Wednesday night."
"Collecting a heavyweight scalp last month as they secured a 2-1 win against Rangers, Hearts have won five of their previous six top-flight appearances - a run that stems back to a 1-1 stalemate against Kilmarnock on December 3rd. It should also be highlighted, McInnes side have suffered just a singe defeat in front of their own supporters so far this season."
