Kerry boss Peter Keane has stuck with the same line-up which mauled Galway last weekend for this Sunday’s showdown with Dublin in Thurles.

The Kingdom had 22 points to spare against the Tribesmen last time out and this weekend sees the Division 1 title holders squaring off against the All-Ireland champions.

After an impressive debut in the green and gold, Paudie Clifford retains his place in the Kerry full-forward line alongside his brother David whom registered a hat-trick in Tralee six days ago.

David Moran and Jack Barry continue at centre-field for Keane’s charges, with Rathmore’s Paul Murphy captaining the side at right half-back.

The only changes to the matchday squad see Jack Sherwood and Stephen O’Brien coming in for Kevin O’Sullivan and Adrian Spillane on the bench.

Throw-in at Semple Stadium is at 1.45pm.

Kerry (FL1 v Dublin): Kieran Fitzgibbon; Brian Ó Beaglaoich, Tadhg Morley, Jason Foley; Paul Murphy, Gavin Crowley, Gavin White; David Moran, Jack Barry; Dara Moynihan, Sean O’Shea, Paul Geaney; David Clifford, Killian Spillane, Paudie Clifford

Subs: Brendan Kealy, Graham O’Sullivan, Paul O’Shea, Jack Sherwood, Tommy Walsh, Mike Breen, Ronan Buckley, Joe O’Connor, Micheál Burns, Stephen O’Brien
