Sean Cavanagh will make his 79th championship appearance for Tyrone against Derry on Sunday.

The 33-year-old three-time All-Ireland winner overtook Conor Gormley's record when he made his 76th championship appearance against Tipperary in last year's All-Ireland qualifiers. He made his championship debut against Armagh on May 19, 2002 and is the only link left to the Red Hand team that lifted the Sam Maguire for the first time in 2003.

Sean will line out at full forward in Celtic Park, with his younger brother Colm partnering Mattie Donnelly in midfield.
