Monaghan have stuck with their tried and tested formula for Sunday's meeting with Kerry in Clones.

Malachy O'Rourke's men opened their All-Ireland SFC Super 8s campaign with a hard-earned 0-15 to 1-10 victory over Kildare last weekend.

The Fermanagh native has decided against making changes to his starting 15 as they seek to make history on their home turf at St Tiernach's Park.

The Farney County have never beaten the Kingdom in championship football and a win this weekend could be enough to see them through to their first All-Ireland semi-final in 30 years with a game to spare.

Monaghan (All-Ireland SFC v Kerry): Rory Beggan; Kieran Duffy, Drew Wylie, Ryan Wylie; Dessie Mone, Vinny Corey, Karl O'Connell; Niall Kearns, Darren Hughes; Ryan McAnespie, Shane Carey, Owen Duffy; Conor McCarthy, Fintan Kelly, Conor McManus.

Subs: Conor Forde, Conor Boyle, Barry Kerr, Colin Walshe, Neil McAdam, Kieran Hughes, Thomas Kerr, Dermot Malone, Paudie McKenna, Jack McCarron, David Garland.
