Dublin boss Jim Gavin has made six changes from the side that lost to Kerry and handed a first senior championship start to All-Ireland U21 winning joint captain Con O’Callaghan.
Jonny Cooper, Niall Scully and Jack McCaffrey come into the defence while there are starting spots in attack for Paul Mannion, Kevin McManamon and O’Callaghan.
There’s an interesting positional switch at midfield with James McCarthy now partnering Brian Fenton.

Darren Daly, Philly McMahon, Ciaran Reddin, Paddy Andrews, Bernard Brogan and Paul Flynn are the players who drop out of the Dublin starting side.
Carlow manager Turlough O’Brien has named an unchanged starting fifteen as they seek to build on that opening win in Leinster against Wexford.
Corner-forward Paul Broderick picked off 0-10 in that game while midfielder Brendan Murphy chipped in with 1-2.
Throw-in tomorrow evening in O’Moore Park in Portlaoise is 7pm.
