Kilkenny and Dublin both have full points after their opening three rounds with Kilkenny sitting in top spot due to their scoring difference. Kilkenny have  a +45 points difference to Dublin's +7. Dublin have only beaten Kilkenny once in the last 81 years in the championship and that win came in 2013 in the Leinster semi-final replay where Dublin took their sole victory by three points.
