Happy First Foots last time at Livi
It`s second v third again this week with Dunfermline sorely needing a confidence building result. Almondvale has never been an easy place for the Fifers to pick up full points.

Livingston were top of the league when October arrived but they lost every match that month to take the shine off their early season achievement. They have recovered to take four points from the last six and as a consequence are a place above the Pars. Dunfermline would be unbeaten since their home defeat at the hands of Livingston in August had it not been for teams from Dundee. Losing to United in the Co-operative Insurance Cup was no disgrace but they will want to eradicate all memory of last Saturday`s reversal to Jocky Scott`s team.
