Match preview

Can St Mirren cement their place in the top six?

The Saints' brilliant form continued in their last Premiership match ten days ago, beating the other Saints, St Johnstone, 2-1 in Paisley.

Connor Ronan equalising from the penalty spot at the Simple Digital Arena before new signing from New Zealand Alex Greive bagged the winner.

This result means the Buddies are sixth in the table having amassed 13 points from 15 available since the winter break.

Also, last weekend, they reached the Scottish Cup quarter-finals by easing past Kelty Hearts 4-0.

The only negative just now is the speculation surrounding manager Jim Goodwin, who's been heavily linked with the vacant job at Aberdeen.

Can St Mirren put this to one side and continue their winning run?

Livingston meanwhile are looking to maintain a safe distance between themselves and the relegation places.

The Lions are currently unbeaten in two Premiership games, beating Aberdeen at home and then drawing 1-1 with Ross County in Dingwall.

They so nearly won both of these matches but conceded a stoppage time equaliser in the Highlands.

Nevertheless, Livi are ninth, nine points clear of Dundee and danger.

Unfortunately for David Martindale's men, they did exit the Scottish Cup last time out, losing on penalties to Hearts after a goalless draw at Tynecastle.

Back on league duty, will there be a winner at the Tony Macaroni Arena?

Livingston team news

Scotland flag

David Martindale rarely makes changes to his XI, in the settled 3-5-2 shape.

January loan signing from Norwich Sebastian Soto will be hoping to make his debut in this one.

Joel Nouble and Bruce Anderson though are the usual strike partnership.

St Mirren team news

Jordan Jones got his first St Mirren goal last weekend and they're going to need him to perform if the Saints are to get into Europe.

That's because star man Jamie McGrath joined Jones' parent club Wigan Athletic in January.

Conor McCarthy is likely to return to the XI for this one, alongside captain Joe Shaughnessy at centre-back.

22 year old striker Alex Greive has impressed since joining from Birkenhead United last month, scoring twice so far.
