Both sides are already through to the quarter finals of this years League, with their opponents set to be decided later this afternoon.

Fitzgerald has made two changes to his side from the win over Kerry last time out, with joint captain Cian Dillon coming back into the side in place of Conor Cleary while Pat Kelly takes over from Donal Touhy in goal

Clare are still without the likes of Tony Kelly, Jack Browne and Seadna Morey through injury, but Podge Collins could play a role once more after coming off the bench last weekend.

Fitzgerald says he has every confidence the players who are available can get the job done.

Throw in today is at 2pm in Cusack Park, live commentary here on Clare FM in association with Matt Waters Clare Fruit & Veg Market and Donie O'Keefe Champion Meats Turnpike Road Ennis

There's still plenty to play for in Division 1A.

Dublin and Kilkenny, who have both already qualified for the quarter-finals, will battle it out for top spot in Division 1A.

They lock horns at Nowlan Park.

Galway will be hoping to avoid a relegation play-off and join their opponents Waterford in the last eight with victory at Walsh Park.

Tipperary also need a victory over Cork at Semple Stadium to clinch a place in the quarter-finals.

Cork, who have yet to claim a point, are already certain to be in a relegation play-off with Tipperary or Galway. 

If Galway and Tipperary both win, Tipperary will go through to the quarter-finals as they have a 13 point superior scoring difference.
