Owen Mulligan believes Tyrone “will have too much” for Armagh in Sunday’s crunch All-Ireland SFC qualifier at the Athletic Grounds (throw-in 1.30pm).

The All-Ireland champions face elimination in their trip to the Orchard County, having lost out to Derry at the Ulster SFC quarter-final stage last month, and Mulligan admits there’s a lot of pressure on both teams going into the derby clash.

"Our forwards haven't clicked yet this year but I still think Tyrone will have too much for them though I'm a bit nervous," the Cookstown man told BBC Sport NI.

"There will be a lot of pressure on both teams. There's a lot of Tyrone supporters saying 'this is a great game for Tyrone to get us back on track' but I would fear Armagh to be honest with you.

"There's a lot of pressure on Armagh as well but you don't want a Tyrone team getting beaten here and it being the worst title defence in long and many a day."
