Dublin manager Jim Gavin has resisted the temptation to make some changes to his starting fifteen to face Meath in the Leinster SFC semi-final at Croke Park on Sunday (throw-in 6.35pm).

Gavin has retained the same side that began the quarter-final against Laois at Nowlan Park where they opened their provincial title defence with a comfortable 2-21 to 2-10 victory.

Paul Flynn is expected to feature despite being replaced by Paul Mannion prior to throw-in three weeks ago after suffering a hamstring injury in the warm-up at the Kilkenny venue.

Paddy Andrews could make his return after recovering from a back injury and is kept in reserve along with Eoghan O'Gara, Michael Fitzsimons and Con O'Callaghan. 

Dublin (SFC v Meath): Stephen Cluxton; Philly McMahon, Jonny Cooper, David Byrne; James McCarthy, Cian O'Sullivan, John Small; Brian Fenton, Michael Darragh Macauley; Dean Rock, Kevin McManamon, Ciaran Kilkenny; Paul Mannion, Diarmuid Connolly, Bernard Brogan.
