The stakes are high for several counties on what promises to be a fascinating afternoon in the Allianz Football League.

Promotion and relegation issues will be decided in all four divisions, while the line-up for the Division 1 semi-finals will also be known come 5pm.

The only things that are certain in Division 1 is that Cork are through to the semi-finals and Derry are demoted to Division 2. Monaghan, Dublin, Mayo and Donegal are all in contention for the remaining semi-final places, while the loser of the Tyrone v Kerry encounter in Omagh will make the drop with Derry.

Division 2 is particularly complicated with not one team guaranteed a place in the top or bottom two going into the final round of games. Down currently occupy top spot, but Roscommon, Meath, Cavan and Galway are also in the promotion shake-up.

Galway are also in the relegation mix along with Laois, Westmeath and Kildare.

In Division 3, Fermanagh and Armagh are already promoted. With a -40 points difference, Wexford are as good as gone and will be joined in Division 4 next year by the losers of the Louth v Limerick clash in Drogheda.

Longford are promoted in Division 4, with the winners of the Offaly and Antrim game in Tullamore set to join them. The Faithful only need a draw to go up.
