The side managed by Jim McGuinness has gone with three new faces, who will make their league debuts, in their starting line-up, Naomh Conaill's Kieran Gallagher and Shea Malone, as well as Paul O'Hare from Naomh Columba.

Donegal, last Saturday, won the Dr McKenna Cup courtesy of a 2-17 to 0-11 victory over Monaghan at Healy Park in Omagh, adding to successes against Antrim and Derry.
