Derry return the full complement of 15 players and Mickey Harte will be happy to see his side hold on to their four-point advantage after Daniel O'Flaherty and Paul Cassidy trade points.

Galway are enjoying good spells of possession, but after kicking two early wides, they are a bit hesitant in front of goal.

The conditions are also not helping their cause.

Game has begun and both teams are on target early.

Brendan Rogers is sent to the sin-bin for 10 minutes after a body check on Galway's Johnny Heaney.

A harsh enough call, but Derry will have to operate with 14 players for the next 10 minutes.

Ball is thrown in at Markievicz Park.

There are late changes for both teams.

Fermanagh make one change to their named side. Goalkeeper Ross Bogue is replaced by Sean McNally.

A number of late changes for Cork. Michael A Martin is replaced by Christopher Kelly as Kevin Flahive comes in for Maurice Shanley. Luke Fahy is replaced by Darragh Cashmen and finally Conor Turbitt is in for Ruairi Deane.

With that said, Anthony Nolan gets the game underway.

Ten minutes in and a pair of Daire Cregg frees has helped the home side into an early lead.

After Rob Finnerty opens Galway's account from a 13-metre free, Conor Glass responds in kind from a mark.

Derry four to the good after nine minutes of play.

With the top two in the second tier facing off in Armagh this afternoon Cavan have a chance to intensify their push for promotion.

It won't be an easy task however with Louth having an outside shout of challenging at the right end of the table themselves.

Raymond Galligan has made six changes to his side that gained a narrow win in Cork last weekend with Oisin Kiernan, Brian O'Connell, James Smith, Cian Madden, Gerard Smith and Oisin Brady all coming into the team.

Louth: N McDonnell; D McKinney, D Campbell, P Lynch; L Grey, A Williams, C McKeever; C Early, T Durnin; P Matthews, C Keenan, C Grimes; R Burns, S Mulroy, C Downey.

Cavan: G O'Rourke, O Kiernan, K Brady, J McLaughlin; P Faulkner, N Carolan, B O'Connell; K Clarke, J Smith, C Brady, C Madden, G Smith; O Brady, P Lynch, C O'Reilly.

We're at the mid-point of the National League and it’s been a mixed bag for Fermanagh so far. Kieran Donnelly’s men started their league campaign with a draw against Meath. They then secured an impressive win over Kildare, before suffering a humbling defeat to Donegal in Letterkenny last week.

Cork, on the other hand, have had a less than impressive start to the season. John Cleary’s side have suffered three consecutive defeats at the hands of Donegal, Louth and Cavan.

A defeat today against Fermanagh would be a massive blow to the Rebel county, with the prospect of not only relegation to Division Three, but also a summer playing Tailteann Cup football.

Here’s how the teams will line out in Ederney this afternoon.

Cork boss Cleary makes one change to his side from his team that were beaten by Cavan last week. Micheal A Martin replaces Patrick Doyle in nets.

Fermanagh name an unchanged side from their loss against Donegal.

Fermanagh: Ross Bogue, Lee Cullen, Che Cullen, Oisin Smyth, Declan McCusker, Shane McGullion, Josh Largo Elis, Brandon Horan, Joe McDade, Conor McGee, Ronan McCaffrey, Conor McShea, Ultan Kelm, Garvan Jones, Sean Cassidy.

Cork: Micheal A Martin, Maurice Shanley, Daniel O’Mahony, Tommy Walsh, Luke Fahy, Rory Maguire, Matty Taylor, Ian Maguire, Colm O’Callaghan, Eoghan McSweeney, Ruairi Deane, Brian O’Driscoll, Mark Cronin, Brian Hurley , Chris Og Jones.

We're up and running in Pearse Stadium. Delighted to report that there's no rain, but there is a stiff breeze blowing from right to left and it will be in Derry's backs for the opening half.

We are underway in Dr Hyde Park.

Antrim look in a lot of trouble at half-time at Corrigan Park as they trail 1-16 to 1-7 despite having played with a strong wind in the first half.

The Saffrons got off to the worst possible start as Jason Flynn intercepted a short puckout from Tiernan Smyth to Phelim Duffin and fired to the net in the first minute.

Evan Niland has notched eight Galway points - including two scores from play.

A Joseph McLaughlin goal did cut Galway's advantage to 1-8 to 1-4 but the Tribesmen responded with eight of the remaining 11 scores in the first half to lead by nine at the break.

This is starting to get very concerning for Antrim as Evan Niland has hit Galway's last five straight points - three frees and two beauties from play - to put them eight up. We've three minutes until half-time. And as I keep saying......Galway have been playing against a stiff breeze.

Galway have responded well to the Antrim goal by firing two points, with Evan Niland having just extended their advantage to six.

Derry arrive in Salthill high in confidence after securing three wins from their opening three games. In their way of making it four wins on the bounce are Galway.

The Tribesmen are somewhat of Derry's bogey team. The Oak Leafers have only recorded two wins against the men from the west in the last 10 clashes.

For today's game, Mickey Harte has named one change from the side that dismantled Monaghan in Celtic Park last Saturday. Bellaghy's Declan Cassidy comes in at the expense of Lachlan Murray.

For Galway, Paul Conroy misses out after picking up dead-leg in last week's win over Tyrone, while Sean Kelly is named amongst the replacements.

Galway:C Gleeson, J McGrath, S Fitzgerald, S Mulkerrin, D McHugh, J Daly, K Molloy, L Boyle, J Maher, J Heaney, C Darcy, C Sweeney, R Finnerty, N Daly, L O Conghaile.

Derry:R Scullion, C McCluskey, C McKaigue, D Baker, C Doherty, E McEvoy, P McGrogan, C Glass, B Rogers, E Doherty, C McFaul, P Cassidy, N Loughlin, S McGuigan, D Cassidy.
