Hearts need historic win to top SWPL
There could be a new SWPL leader come Sunday evening as top two Glasgow City and Hearts go head to head. City have been at the summit since the end of September when they beat Rangers to replace them as leaders. Before the split, Leanne Ross' side hadn't lost a single game but in the four matches since they have only won one and suffered back-to-back defeats to Rangers and reigning champions Hibernian.

It took Hearts a few games to get going this season and after defeat in their opener, they only lost five of their next 20. It was almost two years ago that Hearts picked up their first-ever victory over one of the 'big three' when they beat Rangers 1-0. Since then they've defeated Celtic three times.
The one team they've never managed to beat though? Yup, Glasgow City. If they are to set that record straight, this weekend would be the perfect time to do it.
Secure the three points and Hearts will go top with five games remaining. They'll need to be wary of the two Glasgow sides below them though. If Hearts lose on Sunday, Rangers can go above them with a derby victory over Celtic on Monday night.
