Sean Cavanagh says it's 'advantage Dublin' going into this weekend's All-Ireland SFC final replay.

The reigning champions failed to reach their usual heights in the drawn game eleven days ago but Tyrone ace Cavanagh - who was sent off against Mayo at the quarter-final stage - expects them to improve for Saturday evening's rematch:

"Part of me thinks that Dublin won't be as shocked the next day," he says in The Irish Daily Star. "And while Mayo did an incredible job in keeping some of Dublin's most high-profile players very quiet, the law of averages would almost say that the Dublin guys will look to put that right.

"Deep down I feel that Dublin have more to improve on. A 29% scoring ratio doesn't even get you a draw in most games. I suspect that their team will change, the way they approach the game will change and they may just be that bit slicker.

"It's up to Mayo to match that but I would say it probably is advantage Dublin."
