Jack Lundy, Luke Murphy-Guinane and Ross Keogh come into the starting 15 from the side which began in their semi-final victory over Westmeath.

Dublin, operating in Group 2 during the round-robin stages, defeated Meath (4-10 to 2-10, Parnell Park), Wexford (3-12 to 1-10, Bellefield, Enniscorthy) and Offaly (2-13 to 0-13, O'Connor Park, Tullamore) to top their group before overcoming Wicklow in their quarter-final (0-20 to 1-9, Joule Park, Aughrim) and Westmeath in their semi-final (0-18 to 1-11, TEG Cusack Park, Mullingar).

The Dubs, who are managed by Jim Lehane, have scored 9-73 and conceded 5-53 in their five games to date with Fionn Murray (3-23; 0-15f, 0-3 '45') their top marksman with 14 different players contributing to the scoring tally.

Likewise the Lilywhites enjoyed a 100 per cent record in Group 3, winning all of their three games - opening with a 1-16 to 0-11 win away against Wicklow, then defeating Louth (1-18 to 0-16, Pairc Mhuire, Ardee), Kilkenny (1-12 to 0-5, Nowlan Park, Kilkenny) and then Laois in their provincial semi-final (0-12 to 1-6, O'Moore Park, Portlaoise)

Kildare have scored 3-58 and conceded just 1-38 in their four Leinster MFC encounters to date.
