The Tyrone team named to play Kerry on Sunday is much different to the one which started the 12-point victory over Mayo last weekend.

Manager Mickey Harte has rung the changes ahead of the visit of the Kingdom to Omagh with eight new additions from the win in Castlebar.

Niall Morgan returns between the posts for Mickey O'Neill, while Ronan McNamee, Aidan McCrory, Ronan McNabb and Rory Brennan all start in defence in place of Cathal McCarron, Conor Meyler, Hugh Pat McGeary and Niall Sludden (both injured).

In midfield, Declan McClure replaces Padraig McNulty who will serve a one-match suspension following his straight red card the last day, despite being named in the match-day squad. 

The other two changes are in attack where Conal McCann and Ronan O'Neill come in for Connor McAliskey and Mark Bradley.

Tyrone (Allianz FL v Kerry): Niall Morgan; Padraig Hampsey, Ronan McNamee, Aidan McCrory; Ronan McNabb, Frank Burns, Rory Brennan; Colm Cavanagh, Declan McClure; Matthew Donnelly, Peter Harte, Conal McCann; Lee Brennan, Cathal McShane, Ronan O'Neill.

Subs: Mickey O'Neill, Brendan Burns, Michael Cassidy, Harry Loughran, Cathal McCarron, Ben McDonnell, Kieran McGeary, Michael McKernan, Ciaran McLaughlin, Conor Meyler, David Mulgrew, Padraig McNulty.
