Saints take on Motherwell with a place in the quarter-finals of the William Hill Scottish Cup up for grabs.
FORM
St Mirren - LDDDDL
Motherwell - LDLLDW
The Buddies were due to face Motherwell at Fir Park on Saturday in Ladbrokes Premiership action, but the weather conditions created by Storm Dennis saw the match postponed.
Both sides come into the match having lost narrowly last Wednesday in the Ladbrokes Premiership. Despite Jon Obika's eighth goal of the season, St Mirren were beaten 2-1 at Livingston, while a 93rd minute winner for St Johnstone saw Motherwell lose at McDiarmid Park by the same scoreline.
St Mirren's last win came in January in the William Hill Scottish Cup Fourth Round as the Buddies saw off Broxburn Athletic 3-0 at the Simple Digital Arena.
Motherwell's last win was also in January when Stephen Robinson's side defeated Aberdeen 1-0 at Pittodrie in the Ladbrokes Premiership.

MANAGER'S THOUGHTS
"We plan and prepare the same way we always do.
"It's important to reiterate to the players that the game is on right up until the last minute. If the players are thinking the game is going to be off then it's hard to switch that mindset again. They have to be of the mindset that the game will be 100% on but I would expect the game to go ahead.
"Our preparation is the exact same. The meeting we had on Friday hasn't changed from the meeting we've had this week.
"It is really is a huge expense for fans and I honestly don’t know how some of them do it. There are three games in a week sometimes, £25 plus a ticket, it’s mega money. I take my hat off to them. Their level of commitment and passion for their teams is brilliant."
