Saints manager Stephen Robinson has made two changes from the side that defeated Aberdeen 1-0 last weekend at The SMiSA Stadium.
Captain Mark O'Hara misses out after missing training this week with a hamstring injury, while Oisin Smyth drops to the bench. The pair are replaced by Caolan Boyd-Munce and Roland Idowu. Marcus Fraser captains the side in O'Hara's absence.
17-year-old Youth Academy graduate Evan Mooney returns to the squad for the first time since undergoing surgery in March. Owen Oseni is out after picking up an injury in a reserve match against Newcastle earlier in the week.
