Kerry are set to take on Louth this weekend as the round-robin stage of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship reaches its conclusion. Here's everything you need to know Kerry v Louth.
The Kingdom hopes to continue their perfect record in their Sam Maguire campaign so far. Jack O'Connor's side kicked off the round-robins at home in Killarney as they played hosts to Monaghan where they would ultimately cruise to victory with a final score of 0-24 to 1-11. In round two, Kerry would travel to Páirc Tailteann to face Meath.
In the match, David Clifford scored the Kingdom's first two goals of the championship as Kerry would again pick up a comfortable win with a final score of 2-18 to 0-09.
14th championship goal for Clifford and his second of the game to secure a comfortable Kingdom victory.

In Louth's case, they will be hoping to finish the round-robin stage strongly as they prepare for the All-Ireland knockout stages. Ger Brennan's side started their campaign with a big statement win over their bitter rivals Meath, where quick-fire goals from Craig Lennon and Sam Mulroy helped Louth get a 3-10 to 0-09.
The Wee County would then travel to Clones to face off against their neighbours Monaghan where Louth would collapse in the later stages after having a five-point lead with 15 minutes left to draw 2-10 to 2-10.
A Louth win would see them top the group and qualify for the All-Ireland quarter-final, while a draw would be enough for Kerry to win group 4. Both teams are guaranteed a spot in the preliminary quarter-finals at least.
