Team news first and the Perth Saints have Simon Lappin out on the sidelines but the good news for St Johnstone is Murray Davidson returns from injury and Brian Graham is available to play. Kilmarnock's innjury list has grown due to Mark Connolly and Jamie Hamill joining Michael Ngoo on the sidelines. Alexi Eremenko is available again after his suspension period has expired and Lee Miller could feature after being out for his lengthy spell due to injury.
Two sides are only 4 points apart so a win for the Ayrshire men will narrow the gap to a single point, meanwhile should Perth Saints take all 3 points, they will leapfrog Dundee depending on the outcome in Dingwall.
