Niall Sludden and Mark Bradley start in the half-forward line with Padraig McNulty and Darren McCurry, who also misses out through injury, going out.

Team-captain Sean Cavanagh is set to make a landmark 100th appearance in the competition and his 220th appearance in total.

Tyrone (NFL v Cavan): Michael O'Neill; Aidan McCrory, Ronan McNamee, Cathal McCarron; Rory Brennan, Justin McMahon, Tiernan McCann; Colm Cavanagh, Mattie Donnelly; Niall Sludden, Mark Bradley, Richard Donnelly; Connor McAliskey, Sean Cavanagh, Ronan O'Neill.
