Maurice Fitzgerald returns to the Kerry attack as they look to conclude the year by improving their mid-table position in lowly Division Two A of the National Football League with a win over Westmeath, who are sitting in third place. Fitzgerald has been named in the full forward line alongside Jerry Murphy and John Crowley.

William Kirby remains at midfield with Dara O Se, who impressed in last Sunday's win against Antrim when he hit two points. Liam Hassett, who started that game, has been relegated to the substitutes' bench.

Division leaders Roscommon have made a number of changes to the team which produced a lethargic win over London last weekend. They face Wicklow at Aughrim on Sunday.

Kerry (v Westmeath): D O'Keeffe; M McCarthy, B O'Shea; K Burns; S Moynihan, M Hassett, T O Se; D O Se, W Kirby; J McGlynn, D O Cinneide, D Daly; J Murphy, J Crowley, M Fitzgerald. Subs: P O'Leary, L Hassett, N Kennelly, E Breen, E Fitzmaurice, J Ferriter, J O'Shea, J Sheehan, P O'Sullivan.
