Livingston prepare to entertain Dundee United at Almondvale Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 4 of the 10 previous games, with the Livi winning just 3.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Almondvale Stadium was earlier this season, the Livi carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
