A  big crowd has arrived in Letterkenny today as Roscommon go in search of their fourth straight win in Division 1.

Conor McManus has accounted for exactly 50% of Monaghan’s scores so far in this league. It will be interesting to see how Cork attempt to stop him today.

Tyrone are in Navan today, where a win over Meath would all but secure promotion to Division 1 for next season.

Meath will start as selected in the match programmes. There are four late changes in the Tyrone team, Michael O’Neill, Jonathan Monroe, Niall Sudden and Conal McCann come into the starting line up.

Tyrone have been talked up as potential All-Ireland contenders on the back of their form in recent weeks.

Any All-Ireland contenders would expect to comfortably dispose of Meath today.

Mickey Newman has the ball in the back of the Tyrone net after just four minutes!
