Kilkenny and Wexford clash this weekend in round five of the Leinster senior hurling championship round robin.
That game throws in at Nowlan Park on Saturday at 6pm.
A Kilkenny win would take them into the Leinster final however Wexford need to win to have a chance of staying in the All-Ireland race.
They meet for a second successive year, with Kilkenny having won an epic Leinster semi-final by eight points after extra-time last year. Wexford’s last win over Kilkenny in the championship was in 2017.
Kilkenny and Wexford have met 15 times in the championship since Brian Cody took over as Cats’ boss in late 1998.
It’s 12-2 to Kilkenny with one drawn in those games, with Wexford’s only wins coming in the 2004 and 2017 Leinster semi-finals.
Wexford were last there in 2019.
Kilkenny are attempting to reach the Leinster final for the fifth successive year.
