Antrim manager Davy Fitzgerald continues his rotation at goalkeeper as Cormac McFadden comes back in with Domhall Nugent dropping back to the bench after starting in the defeat by Kildare two weeks ago.

Elsewhere, Eoin McFerran comes back into the starting line-up with Ruairi McCormick out, prompting a reshuffle of the defensive unit but there will likely be positional switches.

At midfield, Keelan Molloy comes in for his first start of the season, replacing his Dunloy club-mate Eoin O'Neill, while in attack, Paul Boyle starts in place of Sean Duffin.

Carlow are no strangers to Corrigan Park, while their manager Pat Bennett was part of Fiztgerald's backroom team last year, so there will be little the Waterford native needs to learn about the opposition.

Bennett makes changes to the team that was beaten by Wexford a fortnight ago with two in defence as Conaill Fitzpatrick and Lorcan Doyle come in for Paul Doyle and Evan Kealy.

Colm Beck comes into the midfield to partner Fiachra Fitzpatrick as Jon Nolan moves into the attack with Conor Kehoe out.

A reminder that today's game is now being played at Corrigan Park.

Originally, the game was due to take place in Dunloy, but has been switched to the Belfast venue.

Corrigan Park has been Antrim's settled home venue for past number of seasons but was closed at the end of the 2025 club championships for remedial work.

The Saffrons hosted Clare in Cushendall in their second league fixture - a game that was also switched from Dunloy - while the footballers have played their league games in Portglenone.

Davy Fitzgerald's side go into Sunday's game with three straight defeats, including a disappointing reverse away to Kildare last time out, which leaves them joint bottom of the division with neighbours Down and desperate for a win to give themselves a shot at survival.

Carlow have played a game less in the seven-team division, beating Down on the opening day and enjoyed a bye week before defeat away to Wexford on 7 February.

Good afternoon and welcome to today's action-packed coverage of the GAA National Leagues.

We have plenty to bring you over the course of the day, all beginning with a live game in hurling's Division 1B as Antrim face a must-win assignment against Carlow.

It's not gone to plan for Davy Fitzgerald's Saffrons so far with three defeats in as many games and another reverse will leave them staring relegation in the face.

At 13:45 GMT, a busy day of football begins with Monaghan's Division One clash with Mayo as the Farneymen seek to put their first points on the board.

Later this afternoon at 15:45, there is the eagerly-anticipated all-Ulster clash as Armagh host Donegal with the Orchard men seeking to get back on the winning trail after back-to-back losses, facing Jim McGuinness' side who are top of the table.

Throughout the afternoon we will bring you updates from the other games including Louth v Tyrone (14:00) and Cavan v Kildare in Division Two (15:00).

In Division Three, Down's are on the road in Wexford and Fermanagh visit Westmeath, while in Division Four, Antrim are the visitors to Leitrim (all 14:00).

There's plenty to keep us entertained today, so let's get started.
