On the plus side David McNamee and strikers Derek Lilley and Colin McMenamin are all carrying knocks but should recover.
Aberdeen defender Michael Hart is out, but striker Steven Craig is fit for the first time since 16 October.
Scott Severin, Russell Anderson and Kevin McNaughton should all be fit despite knocks suffered with Scotland.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Almondvale Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2004, with Livingston running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
