Good afternoon and welcome to our live blog for this All-Ireland Senior Football Championship clash between Dublin and Armagh at Croke Park. The Dubs are without Con O'Callaghan for this afternoon's game, but they can count on John and Paddy Small, Sean Bugler and Lee Gannon among the 26. Killian McGinnis and Lorcan O'Dell showed their mettle against Galway. Will they be able to repeat their performance? The home advantage could prove beneficial for what is a massive clash. It might be time for Cormac Costello or Colm Basquel to step up. As the reigning All-Ireland champions, Armagh will be keen to show their strength at GAA headquarters. With Eoin Murchan sidelined, it's hard to see a match up for Armagh's key man, Oisin Conaty. Croke Park is likely to suit Ross McQuillan. Throw-in is just under an hour away.

What time and TV channel is Constitution Hill v State Man on today?
Punchestown hosts an epic clash this evening as the past three Cheltenham Champion Hurdle winners collide at the Co Kildare venue. It's Constitution Hill v State Man once again after both horses fell at Cheltenham just under two months ago. State Man looked to have the race at his mercy when falling at the last, with Golden Ace powering up the hill to win the day one feature in the Cotswolds for trainer Jeremy Scott and jockey Lorcan Williams, who takes the ride again. Paul Townend partners State Man once more, but Nico de Boinville misses the ride on Constitution Hill through injury, with James Bowen partnering the eight-year-old for the first time. Nicky Henderson is calling Friday's race a "decider". Here's everything you need to know about it: The race takes place at Punchestown on Friday, May 2. The feature contest is scheduled to start at 6.40pm. Both RTE Two and Racing TV will show the race live, with RTE's coverage starting at 4pm. Nicky Henderson: 'He's in good form and it will be a fascinating race and it is a decider between three of them really, and there's three others in the race as well.' Patrick Mullins: 'State Man was unlucky and lucky at Cheltenham. 'It was an awful fall. It was great that he got up. He seemed 100 per cent afterwards. It doesn't seem to have knocked his confidence at all so it's going to be fascinating to see the two English horses come over and take him on, on home soil. 'I think he was well in the process of redeeming his reputation at Cheltenham and I would be expecting him to redeem it even further at Punchestown, so bring it on!' Jeremy Scott: 'She's very well. I'm very, very happy with her. She left on Wednesday morning and I'm very happy with the preparation. 'Who knows what would have happened had they stood up, but we'll get a bit more of an answer. It's a different track, and from my point of perspective huge expectation, but obviously we'd like her to prove herself a worthy Champion Hurdle winner. 'That was always the plan (a rest) having had a couple of quick runs so she's going there fresh and well. 'They're telling me they are aiming for good to soft and if they achieve that then I'll be very happy on that.' Constitution Hill 5/6 State Man 13/8 Golden Ace 9/1 Kargese 10/1 Break My Soul 125/1 Bottler'secret 200/1
