What time, TV channel is Dublin v Tyrone on today in All-Ireland Championship
Tyrone are the great unknown of the eight sides left in this year's All-Ireland Championship. Superb against Donegal. Dire against Mayo. Dublin were workmanlike in beating Cork in last weekend's All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final, and also lost to Armagh - both without Con O'Callaghan. The captain's presence is vital. Padraig Hampsey will probably pick him up if he plays. Peadar O Cofaigh Byrne versus Brian Kennedy in the air will be massive, as will the Tyrone match-ups on Cormac Costello, Paddy Small and Sean Bugler, probably Cormac Quinn, Niall Devlin and Peter Teague. Darragh Canavan is the key for Tyrone in terms of creativity, while Darren McCurry is scoring heavy and Eoin McElholm, off the bench could be dangerous. Where is the game being played? The game is being played at Croke Park What time is throw-in? Throw in is at 6.15pm Can I watch the game on TV? No, the game is not on TV. Is the game being streamed online? Yes, the game will be live streamed on GAA+ Betting Odds: Tyrone: 11/10 Draw: 7/1 Dublin: Evens

What time, TV channel is Donegal v Monaghan on today in All-Ireland Championship
How will Donegal's six day turnaround and the fact they've played eight championship games to Monaghan's four play out? Monaghan have had two weeks to get ready for this one. Donegal won by two points when the sides met in the Ulster-quarter-final. earlier this season. Monaghan's half backs Conor McCarthy, Dessie Mone and Ryan McAnespie are their attacking platform. Donegal will know they have to stop them, not concede two point frees to Rory Beggan and shackle Jack McCarron. They might have a slightly wider range of scorers with Michael Murphy, Oisin Gallen, Michael Langan, Ciaran Thompson and Patrick McBrearty off the bench. Their biggest strength is often the energy of Peadar Mogan, Finbarr Roarty and Ciaran Moore. Monaghan have a lot of pace and are scoring heavily, but they may be vulnerable to Donegal's fast counterattacks. Stephen O'Hanlon is a potential gamebreaker for Monaghan with his goal threat. Where is the game being played? The game is being played at Croke Park What time is throw-in? Throw in is at 4.15pm. Can I watch the game on TV? No the game is not on TV. Is the game being streamed online? Yes, the game will be live streamed on GAA+ Betting Odds: Donegal: 4/11 Draw: 8/1 Monaghan : 3/1
