Henry Shefflin says Dublin and Wexford are both under pressure going into Saturday's Leinster SHC quarter-final.

The winners will progress to face holders Kilkenny for a place in this year's provincial semi-final and Cats legend Shefflin feels that both sides have their troubles:

"I know the last day, Wexford put up a big backlash against Waterford, nearly pipped them in the league quarter-final," he says in The Irish Times. "But I think there is pressure on. We expected a lot from them last year and they just didn't deliver.

"But I think there is pressure on Dublin as well. It's a peculiar one. No one really knows what way it's going to go. I just think you need everything going right for you.

"There's been a few blips. Liam [Dunne] going away before that league quarter-final. Stuff like that. With Ger Cunningham, Danny Sutcliffe isn't on the panel. So I just think that these teams need absolutely everything going right for them. And it just doesn't seem to be flowing for either of them at the moment."
