Kieran McGeaney has named his Armagh team to face Donegal in the Athletic Grounds on Sunday (throw-in 3.45pm).

The Orchard County have made two changes from their starting team that lost by 3-18 to 0-24 against Roscommon in Dr Hyde Park last week, with Tomás McCormack and Ben Crealey coming into the side.

Paddy Burns drops to the bench, while Andrew Murnin, who kicked a two-pointer in last year's meeting in Ballybofey, misses out with a hamstring injury.

Armagh are currently on two points after their first three games, with defeats to the Rossies and Galway in their last two matches after an opening win against Monaghan.
