Dublin have elected not to change a winning formula as manager Jim Gavin has named an unchanged team for Sunday's All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Donegal in Croke Park (3.30).
The Dubs will take the field with the same starting 15 that eased their way past Monaghan in their quarter-final for this weekend's eagerly-awaited duel at a packed Croker.
The minors of Dublin and Donegal, both their respective provincial champions, provides the curtain-raiser (1.30).
DUBLIN (SFC v Donegal): Stephen Cluxton; Mick Fitzsimons, Rory O'Carroll, Philly McMahon; James McCarthy, Johnny Cooper, Nicky Devereux; MD Macauley, Cian O'Sullivan; Paul Flynn, Kevin McManamon, Diarmuid Connolly; Alan Brogan, Eoghan O'Gara, Bernard Brogan.
DUBLIN v DONEGAL
Both arrive in the semi-final as provincial champions. Dublin won the Leinster title for a fourth successive year before beating Monaghan in the All-Ireland quarter-final, while Donegal won the Ulster title for a third time in four seasons before beating Armagh in the quarter-final.
Dublin, the defending All-Ireland champions, are attempting to reach the final for the third time in four seasons while Donegal are searching for a final spot for the second time in three seasons.
The minor semi-final (1.30pm) will also feature Dublin v Donegal.
