At the end of a year like no other, there is a familiar pairing in the All-Ireland football final as Mayo and Dublin eased past their semi-final opponents.

The best of the west and the men from the capital met in the finals of 2013, 2016 (which went to a replay), and 2017. Apart from the draw, the three deciders saw Dublin win by a single point every time.
