Livingston face a trip to Partick Thistle at Firhill Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 23 games played, Livi have recorded 6 wins, and Partick Th. have come away with 10 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2008, the The Jags carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Scottish Division One match.
