As the All-Ireland SFC begins to hot up, Sky Sports will be in Croke Park on Saturday to bring you all the qualifier action.

There's just 10 teams left in the running for Sam Maguire glory and on Saturday it's the turn of Tyrone, Sligo, Donegal and Galway to battle it out for quarter-final spots.

Mickey Harte and Tyrone will be fancied to overcome the challenge of Sligo in the first game of the double-header which has a throw-in time of 4pm.

The Red Hands dished out a 12 point defeat to Tipperary last time out while the Yeats County were on the receiving end of a 2-11 to 6-25 mauling against Mayo in the Connacht decider.

Against that backdrop, it's very much advantage Tyrone but the second game - Donegal v Galway - is much harder to call.

All eyes will be on last year's defeated All-Ireland finalists as they attempt to bounce back from their Anglo Celt Cup final defeat to Monaghan.

Galway enter the contest with wins over Armagh and Derry under their belt but Rory Gallagher and Donegal represent a major step up in opposition.

Can Michael Murphy & Co get their season back on track? All will be revealed when the ball is throw-in at 6pm.

Sky Sports' football analysts Peter Canavan and Senan Connell will discuss the various permutations in the company of presenters Rachel Wyse and Brian Carney.

Sky Sports News will show highlights as well as news, interviews and results on their 24-hour news channel, while skysports.com/GAA will have match reports, fixtures and interviews as well as news, blogs, videos and galleries.

Sky Sports customers can watch live on TV, or on mobile or tablet devices with Sky Go.

Tune in to Sky Sports 1 HD at 3.30pm for all the team news and build-up to the first game, which has a throw-in time of 4pm.
