The big men have to show up here, Ryan MacHugh, Eoghan Ban [Gallagher], Michael Langan, Jason McGee, Donegal need all those boys firing. It depends on who picks up Paudie Clifford, if it is Max Campbell that is a big call.

Jack O'Connor makes two changes to the Kerry side named on Thursday night, the big news is that Paudie Clifford starts as Tony Brosnan drops out and Sean O'Brian adds size and physicality as Cillian Trant moves to the bench.

Jim McGuinness makes four changes to the side named midweek: Caolan McColgan, who marked David Clifford so well in the league final, drops out and is replaced by Max Campbell.

Oisin Gallen replaces Sean Martin and Jason McGee comes in for Shane O'Donnell in the half-forward line.

The other change for the Ulster side comes at corner forward as Michael Langan returns from injury to replace Shea Malone.

Everyone knows that Kerry are a proud footballing county and they lead the Sam Maguire roll of honour with 39 titles.

So, it should be no surprise to anyone that they want to protect their proud championship record here in Fitzgerald Stadium, they've lost just one championship game here in Killarney in the last 28 years.

If ever there was an ideal way to kick-start the new-look All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, the GAA landed on their feet when the draw produced a repeat of last year's final with champions Kerry hosting Donegal on Saturday [15:00 BST].

Killarney's Fitzgerald Stadium is one of the GAA's most picturesque venues, with MacGillicuddy's Reeks sitting majestically in the background - and it is hoped the action on the field this weekend matches the surroundings.

Last year, it was Kerry celebrating a 39th Sam Maguire Cup success, producing a sublime performance to deny Donegal just a third All-Ireland title with 10 points to spare on a day when Jack O'Connor's men were at their imperious best.

Gaelic football's new rules with two-pointers and added space in the attacking zone suited the Kingdom perfectly and Donegal simply had no answer to the Munster champions.

The nature of the performance led many to suggest this was the beginning of a new dynasty in Kerry football and it may well prove to be the case, but Donegal returned the serve in this year's Division One league final, romping to a 13-point win at Croke Park.

Will that have a bearing this weekend?

After going out of the Ulster Championship, Donegal were back training on the Tuesday and changed the training base from Convoy to Lifford, so they've gone into a bit of a bubble since.
