Expected tense performers (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

duet

'performers' is the definition.
(a pair of performers)

'expected tense' is the wordplay.
'expected' becomes 'due' (similar in meaning).
'tense' becomes 't' (abbreviation used in many dictionaries).
'due'+'t'='DUET'

(Other definitions for duet that I've seen before include "Piece for brace" , "Work for a couple" , "Work for two performers" , "Composition for two performers" , "A song sung by two" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
