There are two changes to the Tyrone side that defeated Meath for the trip to Tipperary.
Tiernan McCann and Darren McCurry return at the expense of Richard Donnelly and Barry Tierney in attack.
Conor Meyler, from the Omagh St Enda's club, makes his first appearance in a matchday panel after his recent call up.
Sean Cavanagh will set the record for Tyrone Senior Championship appearances (76) with an appearance in this game, overtaking Conor Gormley.
