All Ireland SFC Quarter-Final Group 2

Donegal v Tyrone, Ballybofey, 3.30pm

A winner takes all Ballybofey battle looms with one small caveat. Tryone would go through to the semi-final if the game ends in a draw due to their superior scoring difference.

During the past decade there has been a significant rivalry between Donegal and Tyrone. This will be their seventh meeting in eight years with Donegal winning four of the last six encounters.

Donegal, with Odhran MacNiallais and Michael Murphy prominent, escaped from a tricky fixture in Dr Hyde Park against Roscommon with the full complement of spoils.

That was critical following the Croke Park loss to Dublin, who also overcame Tyrone at Healy Park. Tyrone's first Quarter-Final Group Phase fixture was a convincing win over Roscommon so Mickey Harte's charges will want to return to GAA headquarters.

Injuries have disturbed Donegal since their highly effective Ulster triumph, but this tussle on home turf with Tyrone should be interesting.

TYRONE: Niall Morgan; Michael McKernan, Ronan McNamee, Hugh Pat McGeary; Tiernan McCann, Frank Burns, Peter Harte; Colm Cavanagh, Padraig Hampsey; Mattie Donnelly, Niall Sludden, Conor Meyler; Cathal McShane, Richard Donnelly, Connor McAliskey.
