Ciarán Thompson of Donegal in action against Ciaran Keenan of Louth during the Allianz Football League Division 2 clash in Ballyshannon in March
Donegal will take on Louth in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final this coming weekend.
This morning's draw - live on RTÉ Radio One - was subject to avoiding repeat pairings from both the provincial finals and the All-Ireland SFC group stages. In the other ties, Armagh face Roscommon, Dublin take on Galway and Kerry were paired with Derry.
Donegal have never played Louth in the championship before and the Director of Club, Player and Games Administration at GAA Feargal McGill said the GAA will "take into consideration" playing the game on Sunday, as Louth played on Sunday past to book their place in the last eight. The scheduling of the games will be confirmed later today, with two games down for Croke Park on Saturday and two more on Sunday.
The GAA said that the draw for the semi-finals, if needed with repeat pairings also considered, will take place on the Sunday Game on Sunday night.
Donegal defeated Louth 1-17 to 0-15 in Ballyshannon in Division 2 in March.
