Armagh v Monaghan throw-in time, date, TV channel information, betting odds and more

Armagh have a big chance to all but guarantee they won't be involved in a division one relegation dogfight as they host neighbours Monaghan on Saturday evening.

The Orchard men backed up opening day victory over Dublin by downing All-Ireland champions Tyrone in a clash marred by the Red Hand men losing four players to red cards late on.

But Kieran McGeeney's side were full value for their victory and will hope to claim another Ulster scalp against Monaghan - who put them to the sword in last year's Ulster semi-final.

The Farney men come in search of their first victory of the league campaign after a Tyrone draw and a narrow Mayo defeat in Clones last weekend.

Here's what you need to know:

Date

Quotes corner

Armagh defender Aaron McKay: “It can be enjoyable one week, and maybe not so enjoyable the next week

“But it’s good because it’s so competitive, boys starting one day that probably won’t the next.

“But it’s great when you’re winning, the atmosphere is a lot better when you’re going training on a wet, windy February night.”

“It is about getting good starts too. For the Monaghan championship game last year, we were 12 points down at one stage, if you’re doing that against division one teams, you’re not going to get away with it.”

Betting odds

Armagh win: 4/7

Monaghan win: 15/8

Draw: 7/1
