Season ticket holders at Rugby Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Kilmarnock languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting Livingston will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Kilmarnock has the fewest clean sheets (2) in Premiership
- Livingston has the most dropped points from leading position (9) in Premiership

It's trouble wherever Kilmarnock are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
