The pairings have been decided for Round 4B of the Football Qualifiers after the draw was made live on Morning Ireland on RTÉ Radio 1 this morning.
Down will play Monaghan in a repeat of last month's Ulster semi-final, while Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney will face his old friends in Kildare.
Round 4B Qualifiers:
Down v Monaghan
Armagh v Kildare
The games will be played on the weekend of the 29th and 30th of July.
Both matches will be played at a neutral venue to be decided this afternoon.
The winners of these ties will play either Tyrone or Dublin in the All-Ireland quarter-final.
Should Kildare win they will automatically play Tyrone, while should Down win they will automatically face Dublin.
If Armagh and Monaghan both win then a further draw will be required to determine which of the above provincial champions they will meet in the quarter-final.
While teams in Round 4 are typically prevented from facing sides they've already played in their provincial championship this wasn't possible for Down as they'd previously played both their potential opponents in this draw.
