Livingston have only won all three of their league games since losing 2-0 to St Johnstone on the opening day of the season. On Tuesday night they got revenge on the Perth men with an extra time win at Almondvale in the Co-operative Insurance Cup. Dunfermline`s story would have been similar had they managed to put the ball past Airdrie United last Saturday. The Pars lost at Thistle on day one but followed that by wins over Queen of the South and St Johnstone.

The Pars will be without Nick Phinn as he serves a one match suspension for seeing red last Saturday.  Livi could have loan signing Calum Elloit in the starting line up.

Referee for this match will be Stephen Finnie.  Only his fourth competitive game in charge of a Dunfermline game.  His only appearance so far at East End Park was for the 3-2 defeat by Dundee United in pre season.  Stephen has yet to see the Pars win!

Come on ye Pars!
