Dublin is set to host Kilkenny this weekend as the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship reaches its penultimate set of round-robin fixtures. Here's everything you need to know about Dublin v Kilkenny.
For the Dubs, they will be looking to continue their impressive unbeaten start to their campaign. Dublin started their campaign with a draw away to Wexford before beating Carlow in Netwatch Dr. Cullen Park and followed that up with a dominant win over Antrim last time out. Micheál Donoghue's men would run out 3-32 to 1-18 winners against the Saffrons in Parnell Park.
For the Cats, they will be looking to bounce back following a disappointing result last time out to Carlow. Derek Lyng's side remain unbeaten following cruising to victory in round one at home to Antrim before drawing to Galway in Pearse Stadium in round two. Kilkenny would get their second draw last time out away to Carlow, where Martin Kavanagh would score a late free to give the Dolmen County a famous point
