Both Dublin and Mayo have teams unchanged for their final SFC All-Ireland showdown at Croke Park on Saturday night.
Dessie Farrell is left with the same 15 that swept Cavan in the semifinal two weeks ago.
The Dubs, who are chasing a sixth straight title, have such immense strength in depth that Robbie McDaid, Paddy Small and Sean Bugler are starting in their first senior All-Ireland decider, while series winners like Paul Mannion, Brian Howard, Philadelphia McMahon and Cormac Costello remain on the bench.
Meanwhile, James Horan keeps faith in the team that beat Tipperary in their quarter-final clash.
Cillian O’Connor makes his 95th appearance in May. He’s one of seven Mayo men who started the 2017 decider against the Dubs: David Clarke, Chris Barrett, Lee Keegan, Patrick Durcan, Kevin McLoughlin and Aidan O’Shea were the others.
Dublin: Stephen Cluxton; Michael Fitzsimons, David Byrne, Jonny Cooper; Eoin Murchan, John Small, Robbie McDaid; Brian Fenton, James McCarthy; Niall Scully, Ciaran Kilkenny, Seán Bugler; Paddy Small, With O’Callaghan, Dean Rock
Mayonnaise: David Clarke; Chris Barrett, Oisin Mullin, Lee Keegan; Patrick Durcan, Stephen Coen, Eoghan McLaughlin; Conor Loftus, Matthew Ruane; Kevin McLoughlin, Ryan O’Donoghue, Diarmuid O’Connor; Tommy Conroy, Aidan O’Shea, Cillian O’Connor.
