Defender Robbie Deas is aiming for revenge when St Johnstone come to Rugby Park on Saturday.
Kilmarnock suffered an opening-day 4-3 defeat at McDiarmid Park and have struggled since, going into this weekend's game bottom of the table.
Deas is hopeful for a better result to lift the mood.
The 26-year-old said: "I was unfortunately suspended for that game. So it was a tough, tough one to watch. So, look, we owe them one.
"I think we all hurt after that opening game. It was on the telly.
"The boys are hurting just now and we need to get together and get the job done on Saturday.
"Look at the last home game, we won 3-2 against Motherwell. We need to continue our home record and put three points on the board and thankfully the games come thick and fast to right our wrongs.
"It's a difficult league, difficult challenge, but we've got more than enough in the dressing room to get the job done and get three points and get the result that we want. We just need to believe in ourselves and back our ability to do that."
Deas has had a "frustrating" start to the season through injury and suspension.
He said: "It's been really frustrating, not being able to help the team on the pitch but doing my best off the pitch. It's difficult. It's been a really frustrating start to the season.
"And then to come in (against Dundee) and not get the result I wanted was also disappointing.
"There's loads of games coming up and I believe we've got enough in the dressing room to put a run together and start looking up the table."
