Allianz Football League Division Four

Waterford v Wicklow, Fraher Field, 7pm

In 2018 Wicklow and Waterford were the bottom two teams in Division Four, but they will both relish the chance to chalk up an early win.

Benji Whelan's knowledge of the Waterford football scene is deep so the locals will be pumped for this encounter.

Despite a disappointing League in which Wicklow only gleaned two draws John Evans still guided them to a surprise Leinster Championship triumph over Offaly.

WATERFORD: Aaron Beresford; Aidan Trihy, Ray O'Ceallaigh, James McGrath; Sean O'Donovan, Brian Looby, Tadhg O hUallachain; Michael Curry, Tommy Prendergast; Sean Whelan Barrett, Dylan Guiry, Conor Murray; Jason Curry, Shane Aherne, Brian Lynch.

WICKLOW: Mark Jackson; Oisin Manning, Ross O'Brien, Jamie Snell; David Deveraux, Shane Mooney, Darragh Fitzgerald; Padraig O'Toole, Dean Healy; Darren Hayden, Anthony McLoughlin, Theo Smith; Mark Kenny, Conor McGraynor, Patrick O'Connor.

Allianz Football League Division Four

Leitrim v Wexford, Avantcard Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada, 2pm

Terry Hyland extracted good performances from Cavan when in charge of his native county and Leitrim believe that progress can be made.

While 2018 was loaded with defeats for Wexford there were flashes of encouragement during the Bord Na Mona O'Byrne Cup.

A young panel learned many valuable lessons last year, but this match in Carrick-on-Shannon should provide a good indictator.

WEXFORD: Conor Swaine; Michael Furlong, Martin O'Connor, Conor Carty; Glen Malone, Shane Doyle, Brian Malone; Barry O'Connor, Niall Hughes; Kevin O'Grady, Jonathan Bealin, Conor Devitt; Eoghan Nolan, Cathal Devereux, John Tubritt.

London v Limerick, McGovern Park, 2pm

Ciaran Deely's willingness to bring through homegrown talent in London is a source of pride around Ruislip.

It has also helped reduce the player turnover which has traditionally been a significant issue for London, who once more will be looking to Liam Gavaghan for inspiration.

London were highly competitive in the League last year, but Limerick have welcomed some decent players back into the fold recently.

LIMERICK: Donal O'Sullivan; Sean O'Dea, Gareth Noonan, Paul Maher; Colm McSweeney, Iain Corbett, Cillian Fahy; Darragh Treacy, Tommie Childs; Peter Nash, Jamie Lee, Davy Lyons; Sean McSweeney, Patrick Begley, Seamus O'Carroll.

Antrim v Derry, Corrigan Park, 2pm

Antrim were heavily involved in the promotion race in 2018, but Laois and Carlow did enough to secure Division Three status.

Derry were relegated losing five of their seven fixtures so the Oak Leafers will be striving for an instant response.

Damian McErlain is expected to attempt to bring through young talent with Derry, but a trip to Corrigan Park will be strenuous.
