Will Kevin McStay steer Roscommon to promotion?
Here is our guide explaining how the Allianz Football League is shaping up ahead of a busy Sunday.
Allianz Football League Division One
Dublin v Monaghan, Croke Park, 3pm
Donegal v Mayo, Ballybofey, 3pm
Kildare v Galway, St Conleth's Park, Newbridge, 3pm
Tyrone v Kerry, Healy Park, Omagh, 3pm

With Dublin and Galway already confirmed as finalists only one thing needs to be determined this weekend.
Who will join Kildare in Division Two next year? It is a winner takes all battle in Ballybofey between Donegal and Mayo. A draw would also be sufficient for Stephen Rochford's Mayo team to secure their top flight status.
Donegal, though, know a win would steer them to safety due to the head to head rule. So it promises to be an interesting encounter with plenty at stake in front of a sizeable crowd.
Allianz Football League Division Two
Roscommon v Cork, Dr Hyde Park, 3pm
Meath v Down, Pairc Tailteann, 3pm
Clare v Louth, Cusack Park, Ennis, 3pm
Cavan v Tipperary, Kingspan Breffni, 3pm
Allianz Football League Division Two table.
TOP
Roscommon currently top the pile and a win against Cork will be sufficient for Kevin McStay's team to earn promotion.
Cavan and Tipperary, though, are very much involved in the hunt and victory for either outfit would earn them top flight status.
If Cavan and Tipperary, draw, though it will mean the Premier County's outstanding fixture against Down carries huge significance with scoring difference potentially required.
A draw between Roscommon and Cork would leave the Connacht champions on 10 points and there is an outside chance of three teams finishing on that total so scoring difference could come into play.
The top three could also eventually finish on nine points too if Roscommon lose to Cork, Tipperary beat Cavan and the Premier County then lose to Down. It could go down to the wire.
BOTTOM
Meath's match against Down at Pairc Tailteann will be hugely significant.
A win for Down would relegate Meath and Louth, but a victory for the Royals or a draw would ensure the outstanding fixtures (Louth v Meath and Down v Tipperary) become relevant.
Allianz Football League Division Three
Wexford v Armagh, Innovate Wexford Park, 1pm
Longford v Fermanagh, Glennon Brothers Pearse Park, 3pm
Sligo v Derry, Markievicz Park, 3pm
Westmeath v Offaly, TEG Cusack Park, 3pm
Allianz Football League Division Three table.
TOP
Armagh have already been promoted, while Longford and Fermanagh face off in a crucial clash at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park.
The winner of the match will advance to the Division Three decider. Presently Longford's scoring average is superior so a draw is likely to be sufficient for Dennis Connerton's team also.
Mathematically Westmeath still have a chance to earn promotion, but they need to beat Offaly by a 26 point margin and hope for draw between Longford and Fermanagh.
BOTTOM
Who will join Wexford in Division Four next year?
Offaly have accumulated three points and need to earn at least a draw against Westmeath to have any chance of avoiding the drop. A loss against their midland neighbours will relegate Offaly.
Sligo host Derry at Markievicz Park and whoever wins that match will be safe.
If Sligo divide the spoils with Derry and Offaly defeat Westmeath scoring difference will be used as the three teams will be on five points.
Allianz Football League Division Four
Carlow v Laois, Netwatch Cullen Park, 1pm
London v Waterford, McGovern Park, Ruislip, 1pm
Limerick v Antrim, Newcastlewest, 1pm
Leitrim v Wicklow, Carrick-on-Shannon, 1pm
Allianz Football League Division Four table.
Turlough O'Brien's Carlow have earned promotion, but they remain key figures in the promotion battle.
Laois will return to Division Three if they beat Carlow at Netwatch Cullen Park.
If they lose or draw Laois' outstanding match against Antrim will become relevant providing the Saffrons beat Limerick.
