It’s pre-match reading time: Here’s a selection of some of the brilliant pieces we had this week.

• Unity, tradition, art: Why football means so much in Kerry
• Kobe: Should he stay or should he go?
• ‘Top class. He’s kept Mayo in a lot of games’ – The rise of number one
• Paul Geaney: Kerry’s coaching changes, the year he should’ve taken out, and All-Ireland lessons
• Experience and wisdom have merged to create Jack O’Connor, Version 3.0
• Trigger’s Broom or the Ship of Theseus – what do Mayo’s past failings mean now?

Let’s begin with the changes before throw-in.

Kerry: Diarmuid O’Connor, who was named at half-forward, has been ruled out through injury. Cillian Trant has been added to the match-day squad.

Mayo: Stephen Coen, who was included in the half-forward line, is out today. John McMonagle has been included in the squad.

We don’t have any information on who will start in place of O’Connor and Coen yet.

Today is the day.

Will it be a Kerry two-in-a-row for the first time since 2006/2007? Or will Mayo finally slay the ghosts that have haunted them since 1951?

It’s All-Ireland football final day and we will have our answer in just a few hours. We’ll be taking you through all the action, starting with the pre-match build-up. We’ll have the team line-ups for you shortly along with any changes before throw-in at 3.30pm.

As always, we want to hear from you so let us know how you think this will go and any other thoughts you have on the game.
