Wexford v Dublin throw-in time, TV channel information, team news and more

Dublin face Wexford in the quarter finals of the Leinster senior football championship this weekend.

Wexford will be seeking to pile the misery on The Boys in Blue, with The Dubs already suffering an embarrassing relegation to Division Two after a wretched league campaign.

James McCarthy is expected to lead Dublin out at the weekend, given the fact that he is rumoured to be named captain for the season ahead.

Dessie Farrell will be hoping to call upon a number of key men, with Con O'Callaghan expected to return to the matchday squad for the first time this season.

Here's everything you need to know:

Quotes Corner

Diarmuid Connolly on Dublin: "We all know Dublin had a poor league and were relegated into Division Two. They only had two wins with one of those coming in the last game of the season.

“This fixture last year was a very close one I thought. Wexford set out their stall very defensively and I can see something similar happening in this round of the Championship. Dublin need to hit the ground running and they need to solidify that midfield partnership and the half back line.

“Is James McCarthy going to come in and start in midfield and stay there for the season. A big question mark on a lot of people’s lips is how is the fitness with Con O’Callaghan?

Probably not looking at Wexford this coming Saturday but they will be looking later on this season. Can we get a full 15 off this Dublin squad?”

Odds

Wexford: 14/1

Dublin: 1/100

Draw: 25/1
