Can Donegal shut out Monaghan?

This weekend's live football final on Off The Ball sees Monaghan and Donegal meet in the Ulster decider for the second year running.

But can Donegal gain revenge for defeat in last year's final?

To answer that former Donegal sharpshooter Brendan Devenney joined Wooly and The Irish Sun's Gordon Manning on the line and he wondered whether Donegal can prevent an impressive Monaghan forward line from making their mark.

"It will be interesting now against a very potent Monaghan forward line. Can the Donegal defence shut them out because if we're relying on Donegal to outscore Monaghan by having a better forward line, they certainly don't in terms of form at the moment," said Devenney, who expects Donegal to sit deep.

He is also impressed by Monaghan this year and still thinks they can seriously challenge for the All Ireland even if they lost the Ulster final.

"Monaghan have a tilt at the All Ireland. I think Monaghan are a great team. I don't think they got the plaudits they deserved last year. I think they've a super manager and a very balanced team."
