Dublin will take on a fresh look for tonight’s repeat of last year’s All Ireland final with Mayo, as Jim Gavin makes seven changes to his starting line-up that lost in Derry in the last game of the Allianz National Football League.
Club All-Ireland final hero Diarmuid Connolly makes a return to the forward line, as do Paul Flynn and Kevin McManamon. It will be Flynn’s second appearance of the League campaign.
All-Star Rory O’Carroll also returns, coming in at full back. James McCarthy is back in the side following an illness.
Meanwhile, Mayo manager James Horan has recalled two of the players that featured in last year's All-Ireland final as corner-back Tom Cunniffe and Andy Moran both start at Croke Park.
