Both Teams were named last night...

There are 4 Changes on the Galway team. Out go Johnny Glynn, who has a hamstring, Joe Canning, Adrian Tuohy and Johnny Coen, though Canning and Coen are on the bench.

Into the team come Paul Killeen at corner back, Sean Loftus at midfield, Niall Burke and Jason Flynn.

Killeen’s last start was against the Dubs in the 2017 championship opener (in which he got a Cruciate injury), while Loftus starts a championship game for the first time. Niall Burke and Jason Flynn have been impressing when coming on in the last number of games.

Conal Keaney and Liam Rushe have both been left out of the Dublin team.

Experienced pair Keaney and Rushe - who took up central positions in attack against the Faithful County - are rested as Fergal Whitely misses out through injury.

St Vincent's Tomas Connolly, a younger brother of Diarmuid, Cian Boland and David Treacy freshen up the midfield and forward lines.

Dublin (Leinster SHC v Galway): Alan Nolan; Paddy Smyth, Cian O'Callaghan, Eoghan O'Donnell; Shane Barrett, Sean Moran, Chris Crummey; Rian McBride, Tomas Connolly; Jake Malone, Fiontan MacGib, Cian Boland; David Treacy, Danny Sutcliffe, Paul Ryan.
