Monaghan unchanged as McCarron returns for Tyrone

On the basis of the announced team at least, Monaghan have chosen to leave well enough alone by naming the same 15 that started the Ulster final for tomorrow’s All-Ireland quarter-final against Tyrone.

Cathal McCarron is the only change to the Tyrone side, returning to the team after missing last Saturday’s win over Sligo due to a family engagement. His selection sees Rory Brennan drop to the bench. Tyrone go with just seven of the team that started the counties’ 2013 All-Ireland quarter-final - McCarron, Peter Harte, the Cavanagh brothers Sean and Colm, Mattie Donnelly, Joe McMahon and Darren McCurry. Monaghan have 11 survivors from that two-point defeat.

Drew Wylie is kept in reserve once more although he has made a full recovery from the knee injury he sustained earlier this summer. Ryan McAnespie was an early second-half replacement for Owen Duffy in the win over Donegal but has been handed a substitute’s number.
