Kerry legend John O'Keeffe is optimistic when it comes to their chances of springing a surprise against Dublin on Sunday.

The Kingdom have the talent to capitalise on Dublin's weakened defence according to the seven-time All-Ireland winner

"Knowing Kerry football all the years, I am expecting a really good performance and it would not surprise me if Kerry beat Dublin," he revealed to The Irish Daily Star.

"I feel if Dublin are without three of their outstanding back-line, particularly (James) McCarthy, and he will have very little football played this year, that will be a big loss, particularly if the game is close going into the last 10 minutes.

"What Dublin have more than any other team is the power and the pace off the bench.

"Paul Mannion is a great example of that and when you can spring a Paul Mannion with that sort of pace and threat late in a game... we don't have that type of player in Kerry at the moment.

"Maybe Dublin need to be asked a few questions and particularly maybe with the likes of Kieran Donaghy inside, if he gets the right ball I think he could ask the questions."
