Dublin manager Jim Gavin has made no change to his announced team to face Mayo on Saturday evening in the AFL Division One match in Castlebar.

The same 15 that started the six-point defeat of Kerry in Croke Park last week is named again although Cian O’Sulllivan and James McCarthy, who switched before the throw-in, are still named at centrefield and half back respectively rather than vice versa.

Mayo make two changes. Lee Keegan isn't named after last week's concussion and his place is taken by Mikey Sweeney with Donal Vaughan switching to wing back. Aidan O'Shea starts as captain in place of Kevin McLoughlin.

Kerry have made three changes for the visit of Roscommon. Goalkeeper Brendan Kelly comes in for Brendan Kealy, Jonathan Lyne replace Philip O'Connor and Aidan O'Mahony is back in place of Fionn Fitzgerald.
