Team news: Tyrone manager Mickey Harte has made two late changes ahead of the All-Ireland final, replacing Ciarán Gourley and Brian McGuigan with Martin Penrose and Ryan Mellon. The Red Hand county will also be missing goalkeeper John Devine after his father passed away yesterday.

Paschal McConnell will deputise between the sticks in the absence of Devine.

Kerry manager Pat O'Shea sticks with the same side named during the week, meaning Paul Galvin will remain among the replacements following his return from suspension.
