Jim Gavin says his Dublin side will show the utmost respect to Mayo when the two sides meet at Croke Park on Sunday week.
Gavin's men are currently priced as 4/7 favourites over the Connacht champions, who are 15/8 underdogs, with bookmakers Paddy Power, but the Round Towers clubman says their opponents have all the momentum going into the last four clash.
"Every team we play we give the utmost respect," said the Dublin manager at the launch of AIG's new offer of up to 47pc off home insurance.
"Fermanagh came out and fronted up and played attacking football and really went at it. There was no diving, no cynical play from them - that was a big test for us.
"And they showed us in the last ten minutes when they kept at it that they punished us for a couple of lapses of concentration.
"There's no doubt Mayo do have the momentum," he continued. "They have played more recently than us against a very good Donegal side and they will carry that into the game.
"And it is up to us to match it early on in the game."
