Former Kerry full-forward Eoin 'Bomber' Liston believes the Kingdom are set to show their ruthless side in Sunday's All-Ireland  SFC quarter-final against Clare.

Writing in his column in today's Irish Independent, the four-time All Star is predicting this weekend's all-Munster clash at Croke Park as one that will see Eamonn Fitzmaurice's side flatter the Banner men on the big stage.

"Everyone is bemoaning the fact that Kerry face Clare again but this is a completely different game and I expect a completely different Kerry performance," Liston wrote.

"Kerry are wounded and dangerous and they're nearing peak fitness with their whole year geared towards the end of August and a possible meeting with the Dubs. And that's not far away at all.

"It's one thing coming in with momentum like Clare and another thing altogether coming in hurting like Kerry. I'd rather be with the fellas that are hurting any day.

"Fellas will be bursting to nail down a place and show Eamonn Fitzmaurice what they can do; their whole focus all along would have been, 'Look lads we just need a go at Dublin again' and if they do the business on Sunday they'll get that.

"With due respect to Clare, this game is a means to an end for Kerry and I'm expecting a ruthless streak given the torturous hardship they've been putting their bodies through since their league final reversal."
