St. Johnstone play host to Livingston at McDiarmid Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 5 of the 11 previous games, with the Saints winning just 4.
The last time the two teams met at St. Johnstone was just over four years ago, in November 2002, with Livingston inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Saints in a Scottish League Cup match.
