With just three rounds of the Allianz Football Leagues remaining, this weekend’s results will go a long way to determining the fate of several counties.
Armagh host Kildare at the Athletic Grounds this evening with the home team still very much in contention for a place in the Division One final.
The Orchard County suffered a two-point loss to Mayo in Dr Hyde Park in round four and will be keen to return to winning ways.

Kieran McGeeney’s side had previously defeated Dublin and Tyrone in the early rounds before drawing their last home game against Monaghan.
In contrast, Kildare have just three points from their opening four games and have only Monaghan and Dublin below them in the Division One standings.
Glenn Ryan’s men claimed a draw against Kerry in Newbridge in round one and were unlucky to come away empty handed from their game against All-Ireland champions Tyrone in Healy Park last month.
Yet, the Lilywhites gave themselves every chance of beating the drop with a well-deserved 1-12 to 0-12 win over Dublin in round four.
McGeeney cut his managerial teeth with Kildare and spent seven seasons with the Leinster outfit.
Johnny Doyle and Dermot Early, who both played under McGeeney, are now part of the Kildare backroom team.
