Galway have stuck with the same starting 15 for Sunday's crunch Leinster senior hurling championship encounter against Kilkenny in Salthill.

It means that Brian Concannon unsurprisingly gets the nod from manager Micheál Donoghue for his second ever start in the championship after notching 2-1 in his debut against Offaly two weeks ago.

2017 'Hurler of the Year' Joe Canning once again starts on 'the 40' for the All-Ireland champions as they seek their first win over the Cats in the eastern province championship since triumphing over Brian Cody's men in the 2012 decider.

Throw-in at Pearse Stadium is at 4pm.

Galway (Leinster SHC v Kilkenny): James Skehill; Adrian Tuohy, Daithi Burke, John Hanbury; Padraic Mannion, Gearoid McInerney, Aidan Harte; Johnny Coen, David Burke; Cathal Mannion, Joe Canning, Joseph Cooney; Conor Whelan, Conor Cooney, Brian Concannon
