Team News
Livingston
Hearts
- Davie Martindale named just one change to the Livingston team that saw their midweek match with St Johnstone end in a goalless stalemate, before they fell to a 3-1 defeat to Motherwell at Fir Park on Saturday to conclude 2023.
- Shamal George had previously replaced Jack Hamilton between the sticks. Ayo Obileye, Mikey Devlin and Michael Nottingham retained their places in defence. James Penrice, Jason Holt and goalscorer Scott Pittman continued in midfield.
- The only alteration from the Saints stalemate saw Cristian Montaño take Andrew Shinnie's place to start at right wing-back against Motherwell. That meant Bruce Anderson supported Joel Nouble and Kurtis Guthrie in attack.
- Hearts boss Steven Naismith made three changes after the Jambos left it late to win the Edinburgh derby by a sole goal at Easter Road against Hibernian, before a disappointing 2-2 draw with Ross County at Tynecastle on Saturday afternoon.
- Craig Halkett joined Kye Rowles and Frankie Kent in the Hearts' back three, replacing Stephen Kingsley. Beni Baningime made way for Alex Lowry to accompany Calem Nieuwenhof and Aidan Denholm in midfield.
- In attack, Kyosuke Tagawa was given the chance to partner Lawrence Shankland at Alan Forrest's expense. Kenneth Vargas, who netted the winner against Livi in the reverse fixture, came off the bench to score on Saturday against the Staggies.
