Meath manager Martin Ennis has kept faith in the starting XV that lost to Armagh last time out for the must win game against Down at Lomans Park Trim.
Eoin Marsh and Jack Regan, sent off on double yellow's against Armagh, regain their places.
The last time the two counties met was in the 2014 Ring Cup. Home side Meath came good to see off the reigning champions on a 0-17 to 1-8 scoreline. Nine of Sunday's starting XV were involved that day.
Meath - Charlie Bird; Cormac Reilly, Shane Brennan, Neill McLoughlin; Keith Keoghan, Damien Healy (C), Shane Whitty; Eoin Marsh, James Toher, Stephen Morris, Gary Kelly, Alan Douglas, Jack Regan, Padraig Keogh, Willie McGrath.
