Armagh and Roscommon have made one change apiece to their starting teams for this weekend’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final.

Orchard County boss Kieran McGeeney recalls Paddy Burns to his full-back line in place of Ciaran Higgins for Saturday’s last-eight Croker showdown. Otherwise, it’s the same personnel that started the June 16th group-stage draw with Galway, although Connaire Mackin returns to the match-day squad after serving a one-match suspension.

Stefan Campbell, Aidan Nugent, Oisin O’Neill and Jason Duffy are all once more held in reserve.

From the side that stunned Tyrone last Saturday, Roscommon manager Davy Burke brings in Ronan Daly at centre back, with Dylan Ruane dropping to the bench.

Armagh: Blaine Hughes; Paddy Burns, Aaron McKay, Peter McGrane; Barry McCambridge, Tiernan Kelly, Aidan Forker; Niall Grimley, Ben Crealey; Oisin Conaty, Rian O’Neill, Joe McElroy; Rory Grugan, Andrew Murnin, Conor Turbitt.

Roscommon: Conor Carroll; Niall Higgins, Brian Stack, Robbie Dolan; David Murray, Ronan Daly, Eoin McCormack; Enda Smith, Ruaidhrí Fallon; Ultan Harney, Diarmuid Murtagh, Shane Cunnane; Daire Cregg, Conor Cox, Donie Smith.
