And he’s looking to maintain his streak in a game which pits second-top Saints against third-placed Dunfermline.

“We won and drew there last season and, while I was with Dundee, we won there,” said Steven.

“It would be nice to get on the scoresheet again, but, as long as the team wins that’s the main thing.

“Dunfermline beat us 3-0 earlier in the season when we were having a poor spell, but we have turned the corner and are playing with confidence.”

An ankle knock means forward Andy Jackson, whose cracking strike gave Saints a 1-0 win at East End last season, is doubtful, and they are minus long-term injured keeper Euan McLean.

Saints boss Derek McInnes is delighted at his team’s form — 16 points from the last six games — but is stressing they face a tough task in Fife.

“We’re taking things one game at a time and have concentrated all our thoughts this week on tomorrow’s match.

“Having beaten us earlier in the season at McDiarmid Park, we know what we are up against and we’ll be prepared to go and give it our best shot.”

Dunfermline performed admirably despite losing 1-0 away to Dundee United in the Co-operative Insurance Cup on Tuesday, and are likely to be unchanged.

That means Scott Wilson, who returned against United from an injury lay-off, is set to retain his place in the centre of the Pars defence.

Their boss Jim McIntyre realises Saints are a far better outfit than the one they defeated earlier in the season, saying, “We’ll have to be at our best. We played really well when we won in Perth and I’d like to see a repeat of that tomorrow.”

Both teams look like having big supports to cheer them on.

Up to 2000 Saints fans, with some in fancy dress, are expected to make the trip, while Pars chairman John Yorkston called on his team’s fans to come out and give their support.

“This is a very important game for us and I would urge as many Pars fans as possible to get behind the team for what is a crunch game,” he said.
