NFL premutations: High stakes for many in final round of football league games

And so after 96 matches many of the jigsaw pieces are in place with regard to those who dare to look up and others who face the dreaded drop. There is still much on the line ahead of the final round of games in this year's Allianz Football League.

What we know for certain

Monaghan's decade-long stay in Division 1 was ended on Saturday evening, following their defeat to Tyrone in Omagh.

Donegal and Armagh are promoted from Division 2, but it's relegation for Kildare; their drop to the third tier confirmed after losing to Jim McGuinness' side.

It's successive relegations for the Limerick footballers; their loss to Wicklow on Saturday saw Jimmy Lee's slide down to Division 4.

Division 1
(All Sunday, 1.45pm)
Derry v Roscommon, Celtic Park
Dublin v Tyrone, Croke Park
Kerry v Galway, Fitzgerald Stadium
Monaghan v Mayo, Clones

Derry and Dublin are the favourites to claim a final berth. Mickey Harte's side, with a scoring difference of +25, would be confident about booking an Easter Sunday date at Croke Park, even if they fall to a home defeat against Roscommon. A draw would be enough for the Ulster champions to progress.

In the event of a Derry loss and both Dublin and Kerry winning against Tyrone and Galway respectively, all three would finish on 10 points. Kerry's scoring difference is inferior, currently +9, so a big score against the Tribes is required, with the Dubs ahead of Derry on +28.

Dublin's win over the Kingdom on 24 February, an emphatic one at that, would see them make the decider if it came down to a head-to-head between the counties.
