Mickey Harte has made two changes to the Tyrone team to face Donegal in Sunday’s mouth-watering Ulster Football Championship semi-final in Clones.
The anticipation to the game is now white hot with many feeling Sunday’s clash will be the ultimate test to see how far the new-look Donegal side has really come.
The Tyrone boss has admitted Donegal are the in-form side but will have done his homework on ways of dismantling McGuinness’ team.
Joe McMahon comes into the Tyrone team following a lay off due to a broken jaw sustained while playing for his club Omagh St Enda’s in a club match in April.
He replaces Cathal McCarron, with Kevin Hughes taking over from for Aidan Cassidy, who suffered an ankle injury in a recent club outing.
Donegal boss Jim McGuinness is in the unlikely position of having an injury-free panel to choose form.
The only dilemma he would appear to have it whether to play Glenfin man Frank McGlynn from the start now that he is back to full fitness.
The Tyrone team is – Pascal McConnell , Martin Swift , Joe McMahon, Ryan McMenamin , Davy Harte, Conor Gormley, Philip Jordan, Kevin Hughes, Sean Cavanagh, Brian Dooher, Brian McGuigan , Peter Harte, Martin Penrose , Stephen O’Neill , Mark Donnelly
Subs: John Devine, Aidan Cassidy, Colm Cavanagh, Kyle Coney, Cathal McCarron, Damian McCaul, Aidan McCrory, Tommy McGuigan, Justin McMahon , Owen Mulligan, Sean O’Neill
