St. Johnstone prepare to entertain Livingston at McDiarmid Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 6 of the 12 previous games, with the Saints winning just 4.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at McDiarmid Park was earlier this season, with Livingston inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Saints in a Scottish Division One match.
