This would be historic for many reasons, but not least because this time last year the Dubs were seeming unbeatable and unflappable in everything that they did.
Speaking exclusively to Ladbrokes’ Marc Ó Sé gives his verdict on every Division One game.
"Kildare will be delighted with their deserved win against the Dubs. However, Dublin should have converted at least one of those goal-scoring opportunities.
"Kildare need to focus on tightening up at the back and continue with the long ball into Daniel Flynn and Jimmy Hyland. If they can manage to get a good supply into them, we could see an upset. However, I still fancy Armagh for this at home."
"The Kerry men were wondering did Santa make a second roundtrip! They won’t have it as easy this time as Mayo showed great bounce back ability to recover from that early goal by Armagh.
"Their defence is rock solid, with Matty Ruane flying in midfield. I see this game going the distance. It could come down to a midfield battle between Ruan and Diarmuid O’Connor in my view. That said, I give Kerry the win with home advantage."
"This in my view is going to give Donegal huge confidence against Monaghan. I always find it really hard to call when some of these Ulster teams play each other.
"If Donegal can build on the momentum from two weeks ago, I will give them the nod here. If Conor O’Donnell and Paddy McBrearty replicate their performance, it’s Donegal by two or three for me."
"This is a mouth-watering clash simply due to the pressure Dublin face to get a win. Add into the equation that they’re taking on the All Ireland champions in Healy Park and this is one of the games that all eyes will be on."I said it all year, it depends what Dublin team takes the field. Will they bring Con O’Callaghan or James McCarthy back? I am hearing that Con is going to be absent, as is the likes of Eoin Murchan, Paddy Small, and Cormac Costello.
"I am hearing James McCarthy played a league game with his club Ballymun last weekend so he might be back albeit a bit rusty. However I feel it’s still a step too far for Dublin.
"Tyrone will have been disappointed not to have beaten Donegal and will be looking at the league table here. A home win versus a vulnerable Dublin team is crucial and I think they will smell blood. It is a Tyrone win for me and that’s my bet of the week."
