Kilkenny boss Brian Cody has made three changes to his side for Sunday's mouth-watering clash with Galway in Salthill.

Enda Morrissey, James Maher and Walter Walsh - all of whom were unable to play against Offaly last weekend due to illness or injury - return to the Cats' starting line-up.

Meanwhile, Richie Hogan is named on the Leinster kingpins' bench for the first time this season.

Throw-in at Pearse Stadium is at 4.00pm.

Kilkenny (Leinster SHC v Galway): Eoin Murphy; Enda Morrissey, Padraig Walsh, Paddy Deegan; Conor Delaney, Cillian Buckley, Paul Murphy; Conor Fogarty, James Maher; Martin Keoghan, TJ Reid, Liam Blanchfield; John Donnelly, Walter Walsh, Luke Scanlon
