Cavan boss Mattie McGleenan has reverted Gearoid McKiernan to full-forward for Saturday's visit of Tipperary to Kingspan Breffni.

Having been picked in midfield, McKiernan turned in a man-of-the-match performance for the Breffni men in their four-point victory over Offaly, scoring 1-4 and McGleenan has opted for the big Swanlinbar man on the edge of the square.

There are four changes from the previous round in Tullamore two weeks ago, with fit-again captain Killian Clarke, Niall Murray, Tomas Corr and championship newcomer Caoimhin O'Reilly all getting the nod.

Gerard Smith misses out through injury while the entire full-forward line from the last day, Niall Clerkin, Sean Johnston and Niall McDermott, drop to the bench.

Cavan (All-Ireland SFC v Tipperary): Raymond Galligan; Padraig Faulkner, Killian Clarke, Jason McLoughlin; James McEnroe, Niall Murray, Conor Moynagh; Liam Buchanan, Tomas Corr; Cian Mackey, Martin Reilly, Ciaran Brady; Caoimhin O'Reilly, Gearoid McKiernan, Dara McVeety.

Subs: James Farrelly, Fergal Reilly, Killian Brady, Sean Johnston, Niall Clerkin, Niall McDermott, Shane O'Rourke, Joe Dillon, Niall McKiernan, Ryan Connolly, Thomas Galligan.
