"Louth manager Gavin Devlin has named his team to start against Dublin in Croke Park on Sunday in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship clash. The side sees a number of changes from the one that faced the Dubs in the Leinster Championship semi-final in O'Moore Park four weeks ago. Niall McDonnell retains his place in goal while Emmett Carolan drops from the half-back line into the full-back trio alongside Dermot Campbell and Donal McKenny."
"Craig Lennon is named to start in his usual number seven position along with Dara McDonnell and Daire Nally, who was a late withdrawal from the O'Moore Park game after picking up an injury in the warm-up. Conor Early and James Maguire will pair up again in the middle of the park while the half-forward line of Conor Grimes, Sam Mulroy and Paul Mathews remains the same."
"There is one change in the full-forward line with Kieran McArdle, who came on as a substitute in Portlaoise, replacing Ryan Burns who is named amongst the substitutes. McArdle will line out alongside Ciaran Downey and Conal McCaul. Included on the bench, alongside the aforementioned Burns, are Conall McKeever, Tadhg McDonnell, Tommy Durnin and Conor Mac Criosta who has been drafted in from the U20 squad."
