Livingston FC will look to tighten their defence when they host Inverness CT in the Championship this Saturday. The Lions sit fourth in the table with nine points from six games, but have conceded in their last two league outings.
Manager David Martindale has emphasised the need for a more solid performance at the back. His side's 4-1 victory away to Morton last time out showed their attacking threat, with Liam Polworth, Ross Muirhead, Efe Danso and James Doherty all on the scoresheet. That win followed a narrow 1-0 home defeat to Stenhousemuir.
Livingston's recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins and three losses in their last five league matches. They are seven points behind leaders Stenhousemuir but have a chance to close the gap with a strong run of home fixtures.
Inverness CT arrive at the Tony Macaroni Arena sitting seventh in the table. Their last competitive match was a heavy defeat away to Hearts in August. The visitors' lineup is expected to include experienced figures like Graeme Shinnie and Billy Mckay.
Martindale is likely to stick with a core of the side that performed well at Cappielow. Goalkeeper Jamie Prior, defenders James Doherty and Bruce Anderson, and midfielder Tomi Adeloye are all expected to be involved. The manager confirmed there are no new injury concerns ahead of the match.
Kick-off is at 3pm on Saturday, 19 September. A win would strengthen Livingston's position in the promotion chase ahead of a tough run of games next month. The latest team news and player statistics are always available on our squad page.
