The sides meet in the Leinster Championship tonight.
Laois have an uphill task this evening as they visit Nowlan Park in the Leinster U-20 Hurling Championship.
Kilkenny will be eyeing up a semi-final with rivals Galway but Ollie Haley's side are aiming to throw a spanner in the works.
They've already got the better of Westmeath in an epic encounter and demolished Antrim en-route to the last eight stage.
That game throws-in at 7:30pm.
Haley this morning named his team:
Lorcan Fitzpatrick; Ian Shanahan, Alan Connolly, Danny Brennan; Fionan Mahoney, Ciaran Burke, Niall Coss; Tomas Keyes, Thep Fitzpatrick; James Duggan, Tadhg Cuddy, Gearoid Lynch; Ciaran Byrne, Mark Hennessey, Cathal Murphy.
U20 Hurling Manager Ollie Hally has announced his team to play Kilkenny GAA this evening at 7.30pm
