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 7 of the 14 previous games, with the Saints winning just 5.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at McDiarmid Park was earlier this season, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 5-2 thriller, in a Scottish Division One match.
