It looks James McCarthy will push up to midfield for Dublin, with John Small dropping into the half-back line alongside Cian O’Sullivan and Jack McCaffrey.
Philly McMahon and Michael Fitzsimons should pick up Kildare’s inside duo of Paddy Brophy and Cathal McNally with Eric Lowndes following his man outfield.
Ciaran Kilkenny should operate on the half-forward line alongside Niall Scully and Paul Mannion, with Paddy Andrews, Dean Rock and Con O’Callaghan inside.
