Monaghan boss Vinny Corey has named his team to take on Kildare in O’Connor Park, Tullamore on Saturday.

The All-Ireland series has reached the knockout stage and the loser of tomorrow’s clash will exit the competition.

Monaghan are coming off the back on a two-point defeat to Donegal in the final round of the group stages.

From the team that started that day, Corey has made one change to the starting line-up, with Shane Carey named to start.

Darren Hughes has been named amongst the subs but was a late addition to the starting line up against Donegal while Carey came off the bench in the second half.

Dessie Ward once again starts on the bench as he edges towards full fitness while Conor McManus looks set to continue his role as an impact sub.

Monaghan: Rory Beggan; Ryan O’Toole, Kieran Duffy, Ryan Wylie, Karl O’Connell, Conor Boyle, Conor McCarthy, Karl Gallagher, Killian Lavelle, Stephen O’Hanlon, Mícheál Bannigan, Ryan McAnespie, Jack McCarron, Gary Mohan, Shane Carey.  Subs: Darren McDonnell, Kieran Hughes, Conor McManus, Sean Jones, Darren Hughes, Dessie Ward, Kevin Loughran, Fabian Beggan, Darragh McElearney, Francie Hughes, Colm Lennon.
