"They scored 2-17 against Tyrone in Ulster and that sort of a scoreline will trouble Dublin, but I don't see Monaghan's forwards having that score in them this time.
“Where Monaghan could get a little bit of joy is the likes of Conor McCarthy breaking forward and breaking lines, but I don't see too many runners coming down the middle because Dublin are playing really well at the minute and Brian Howard is covering that six spot.
“Monaghan will probably get a lot of bodies back behind the ball, but I see that as a negative. If they don’t come out and play man for man they could be in for a whipping because Dublin have expertise against this hybrid defence.
"Monaghan will need goals and since Stephen Cluxton came back, Dublin haven't let one in. They've also scored 15 of their own already in this championship, so I see this as a foregone conclusion really.”Dublin and Monaghan play Saturday evening at 5.30pm live on RTE Two. Related links:
