Ulster Senior Football Championship

Tyrone v Monaghan, Healy Park, 4pm

Having claimed the last two Ulster titles, Tyrone want to remain perched on the northern summit.

Monaghan, though, enter this game encouraged by a decent spring in Allianz Football League Division One with a victory over Dublin in their last group match offering an injection of confidence.

While that match didn't carry any huge value it still supplied Monaghan with a pre-Championship boost ahead of this tasty tussle with Tyrone.

With Mickey Harte in charge of Tyrone for a 16th campaign, the Red Hands remain serious contenders and they will want to produce a performance on home turf.

All Ireland Quarter-Final successes for Tyrone over Monaghan in 2013 and 2015 were blows for Malachy O'Rourke's team, who continue to deliver wholehearted displays.

O'Rourke's work with Monaghan is worthy of the utmost respect, and they will want to take the prized Tyrone scalp in Omagh.
