It's a big weekend in the Allianz Football League this weekend, with promotion, relegation, and places in the knockout stages at stake in both football and Hurling leagues.

In football, Donegal host Mayo in a must win game to have any chance of survival in division one, while Mayo could secure their place in the final with victory in MacCunhaill Park.

In the Athletic Grounds, Armagh host Galway, with the sides meeting for the first time since Galway's penalty-shoot out victory in last year's All-Ireland semi-final.

In division two, Dublin will be hoping to overcome their defeat to Derry when they travel to Meath, while Limerick and Kildare meet in a relegation battle between the bottom two sides.

In hurling, Waterford and Kilkenny will clash in the highlight of Sunday's games, while Clare will host Cork, who have already qualified for the knockout stages of the league.
