Ryan McMenamin says Tyrone can expect more of the same this afternoon when they take on relegation-threatened Fermanagh in Enniskillen.

Already promoted, the Red Hands dropped their first point of the Division Two campaign last weekend when Armagh battled for a late draw against them in Omagh and three-time All-Ireland winner McMenamin says they'll be in for another war against the Erne men.

"It's the same scenario (as against Armagh). If Fermanagh lose, they're probably going to be dependent on other results," McMenamin told the Strabane Chronicle.

"They have a very good record in Brewster Park and always like getting one over Tyrone so it'll be the same thing where Tyrone know they're in the final and Mickey (Harte) will be telling the boys that they need to perform.

"Fermanagh will definitely be up for it, they wouldn't want to go back down to Division Three after doing so well, it's going to be a good game especially in Brewster Park where Fermanagh are hard to beat."

He added: "Fermanagh players were always confident that they could get a result against Tyrone in Brewster Park and I'd say there'll be a big crowd. Tyrone over the years had something over Fermanagh and it's a bit of a derby down our way so it'll be interesting.

"During the McKenna Cup Fermanagh gave a good account of themselves against Tyrone in the first-half. Tyrone were probably that bit fitter at that stage of the season and pushed away in the second. They did make life difficult for Tyrone but Fermanagh are going to have to come out and play with Tyrone as they need to win."

Throw-in at Brewster Park is at 2pm.
