Livingston FC prepare for their Championship match against Ayr United on Saturday aiming to extend a strong recent run of form. The Lions sit third in the table with 13 points from eight games and are unbeaten in their last four outings.
Their last fixture was a 2-0 away win against Raith Rovers on 25 September, with Rory Muirhead scoring both goals. That result followed a 2-2 home draw with Inverness CT and a 4-1 victory away to Morton. The team's recent form shows two wins, a draw and two losses from their last five matches.
The starting lineup from the win over Morton featured J. Prior in goal, with a back four of J. Doherty, B. Kabongolo, R. McGowan and J. Wilkie. The midfield trio was T. Sinclair, E. Danso and L. Polworth, supporting forwards R. Muirhead, B. Anderson and B. Van Hoeven.
Opposition analysis
Ayr United arrive with mixed form, having lost their most recent match 3-2 away to Kilmarnock in August. Their last recorded starting eleven, from a match against Queen's Park on 18 September, included H. Stone in goal and featured players like D. Watret, L. King and R. Lyon. They currently sit eighth in the Championship standings.
