Dundalk V Kilkenny

Dundalk remain without skipper Aidan Lynch due to a calf injury as they hope to open up a six point lead at the top of the table.
Last week's terrific 3-1 win at title rivals Galway stretched Dundalk's unbeaten run to 19 games.
Kilkenny, seven points adrift at the foot of the table after a dreadful run that's seen them take just two points from their last 19 games, are without Peter Darcy and Brian King who are suspended.
