Donegal win the throw-up and set about an immediate attack, Patrick McBrearty knocking over.

The home side will have the wind advantage in this first half.

Tyrone never got going after the row and it's been all Kerry in the second quarter, the Kingdom scoring the last four points on the bounce.

Tyrone selector Joe McMahon told TG4: "At this stage we are making a lot of unforced errors".

"They are getting their kickouts away and we are conceding very easily off that. We're getting caught between a press and sitting off.

"It's disappointing after the start we made. Too many wides and a lot of things we wouldn't be happy with but hopefully we can turn it around."

Tyrone's wides are starting to mount up. Canavan and McCurry, who couldn't miss against Mayo last week, are finding the going tough.

Kerry have built up a nice lead scoring five of the last six points in an eight-minute spell.

Tyrone's young backs are not able to contain the pace and power and natural talent of these Kerry forwards.

Both Clifford boys, Sean O'Shea and Adrian Spillane have all scored from play during this purple patch.

Jim McGuinness makes three late changes to the Donegal side named in the match programme. Brendan McCole is out completely and is replaced by Jeaic Mac Ceallabhui who now wears three.

Ciaran Moore replaces Stephen McMenamin and Jamie Brennan comes in for Hugh McFadden.

In the Donegal substitutes, Ronan Frain will now wear 17 with Ronan Gallagher donning the number 23 jersey in place of Kevin McGettigan.

Louth are unchanged from the match programme.

It’s four wins from four in Division Three for Conor Laverty’s Down.

Not only have they not lost a game, but they go into today’s game at Pairc Esler as the highest scorers across all divisions with the Mourne men having accumulated an impressive 8-61.

Pat Havern, Liam Kerr and Daniel Guinness have been instrumental for Down and are well used to raising the white flag at this stage.

They find themselves tied at the top of the table with Westmeath. Both teams on eight points, with scoring difference giving Down the edge.

Having been promoted from Division Four last year, Tony McEntee's side have been impressive so far in the campaign.

The Yeats County have recorded three wins from four so far with a narrow defeat by Clare their only reverse.

Sligo also have no shortage of fire power up front with Niall Murphy and Sean Carrabine racking up an impressive tally between them so far during the campaign.

Down: J.O’Hare, P.Fegan, R.McEvoy, C.Doherty, M.Rooney, P.Laverty, R.Magill, O.Murdock, S.Annett, C.Mooney, L.Kerr, D.Guinness, D.Magill, P.Havern, J.Guinness

Sligo: A.Devaney, P. McNamara, E.McGuinness, E.Lyons, B.Cox, D.Cummins, N.Mullen, P.O’Connor, P.Kilcoyne, A.McLaughlin, D.Conlon, C.Lally, L.Towey, S.Carrabine, N.Murphy

Tyrone are giving Kerry so much room to play, and that is dangerous.

Sean O'Shea takes advantage with a point from play before David Clifford lands a superb free from the sideline, a ridiculous score.

The visitors take the narrowest of leads into the dressing room after a fairly even 35 minutes in Belfast.

It's been a decent watch despite the low scoring but Antrim will feel it should be they who are in front. They would be only for a number of wides and two great goal chances that have come and gone.

Westmeath will have the breeze in their favour in the second period but this one is there for either team.

Darragh Canavan with his first of the day, it's a tight angle but he makes it.

David Clifford immediately responds with a free.

Sean O'Shea with another free edges Kerry in front.

Tyrone have made a change with Ruairi Canavan coming on to replace his brother-in-law Peter Harte, whose jersey is ripped asunder.

Has anyone brought a needle and thread?

A flurry of scores now. Calm is restored after the little disagreement and Sean O'Shea draws Kerry level.

Conn Kilpatrick then storms through the middle and splits the posts.

Paudie Clifford immediately restores parity.

Safe to say this is very competitive in every way. Neither side willing to concede an inch.

The visitors seemed to take a bit of a grip, but back-to-back points from Dominic McEnhill tied it up.

The Saffrons have created another goal chance but Marc Jordan had his effort stopped on the line by David Lynch.

Kavan Keenan edged hosts ahead from a tight angle but Westmeath get back on terms immediately. It's been that type of game thus far.

Donegal are in prime position for promotion straight back to Division One and after last night's draw between Cavan and Meath, the Tir Chonaill County now need just four more points to guarantee a return to the top tier in 2025.

Jim McGuinness makes no changes to the side that drew with Armagh at the Athletic Grounds last week which means Michael Langan, Patrick McBrearty and the in-form Daire O Baoill retain their places in the starting side.

While Donegal are driving towards promotion, Louth are looking at avoiding relegation to the third tier after straight defeats by Meath and Cavan. Ger Brennan makes just one change to the side that lost out by the minimum against the Breffni men in Ardee as Tom Jackson replaces Ciaran Downey in the full-forward line.

Donegal: Shaun Patton; Mark Curran, Brendan McCole, Stephen McMenamin; Ryan McHugh, Caolan McGonagle, Peadar Mogan; Hugh McFadden, Michael Langan; Shane O'Donnell, Ciaran Thompson, Odhran Doherty; Patrick McBrearty. Oisin Gallen, Daire O Baoil.

Louth: Niall McDonnell; Donal McKenny, Dermot Campbell, Peter Lynch; Leonard Grey, Anthony Williams, Conall McKeever; Conor Early, Tommy Durnin; Paul Matthews, Ciaran Keenan, Conor Grimes; Ryan Burns, Sam Mulroy, Tom Jackson.

Conn Kilpatrick tries to claim a mark near the sideline but David Clifford doesn't agree and soon there are a lot of bodies in the vicinity.

At the end of the scuffle, Kilpatrick and Clifford lock horns again.

What action will David Coldrick take here?

The answer is three yellows for Paudie Clifford, Dara Moynihan and Peter Harte, presumably for joining the row.

Darren McCurry likes the posts in Killarney as much as in Healy Park.

After his terrific display against Mayo last week with 0-8, he starts brightly here with a trademark curling score with his left foot to put Tyrone 0-3 to 0-1 ahead.

With David Clifford also on the pitch, we have some left-footed maestros on the pitch and he lands a free, his first of the day. Unlikely to be his last.

Niall Morgan spreads himself big and makes a great save from Sean O'Shea after Kerry turn the ball over and break quickly.

That's a warning shot to Tyrone, who were lucky to get away with that lack of cover at the back.

Ciaran Daly with Tyrone's opening point after five minutes.

Darragh Canavan, who was outstanding against Mayo last week hitting 1-4 from play, with the assist.

Seanie O'Donnell then picks up the scraps from Niall Morgan's high ball in and splits the posts. Tyrone lead, but for how long?

Sean O'Brien lands a huge point into the wind for Kerry in the second minute.

Peter Harte tries to reply for Tyrone but his effort tails wide.

Tyrone win the throw-in but Conn Kilpatrick is blown for overcarrying in the first minute.

Experienced ref David Coldrick is the man in the middle today.

Eunan Walsh starts a superb Antrim move out from the back and gets on the end of his, only to be denied by Westmeath goalkeeper Jason Daly who saves out for a 45.

Michael Byrne misses the kick but redeems himself with a great save from Jonathan Lynam at the other end.

Ronan Boyle finally breaks the deadlock with a point for the hosts after eight minutes but Senan Baker ties it up from a free.
