Tipperary and Wexford will stick with the sides named for the postponed All-Ireland SHC quarter-final ahead of the deferred meeting at Croke Park on Sunday.

Tipp manager Babs Keating has therefore opted to leave Eoin Kelly on the bench, while Paul Curran and Diarmuid Fitzgerald remain out of contention.

Curran is recovering from a broken jaw while Fitzgerald is suffering from a groin strain.

After seeing his side demolished by Kilkenny in the Leinster final Wexford boss John Meyler has decided to stick with his decision to drop while David O'Connor, Ciaran Kenny and Nigel Higgins, instead calling on the services of Barry Lambert, Rory McCarthy and Mitch Jordan.

Throw-in at Croke Park is at 2.00pm

TIPPERARY: G Kennedy; E Buckley, D Fanning, A Byrne; E Corcoran, C O'Mahony, S Maher; H Maloney, S Butler; J Carroll, B Dunne (Captain), D Hickey; L Corbett, D Egan, W Ryan.

WEXFORD: D Fitzhenry (captain); M Travers, K Rossiter, P Roche; R Kehoe, D Ruth, D Lyng; D Stamp, R McCarthy; E Quigley, M Jordan, S Nolan; B Lambert, M Jacob, R Jacob.
