After two bruising encounters against Monaghan, Armagh must travel to Omagh to take on Tyrone in the back-door series.

It's a draw that manager Paul Grimley and his players could have done without it but they have no choice but to get back up on the horse.

"I've nothing to say, even if I wanted to," was Grimley's response to media requests in Clones last Sunday.

The media ban remains in place but they will have to do their talking out on the field against a Tyrone team that ruthlessly dispatched Louth by 2-21 to 0-10.

Since then, however, Peter Harte has been ruled out with a broken wrist while Joe McMahon (chest), PJ Quinn (stomach muscle) and Matty Donnelly (groin) are all rated doubtful.

Nonetheless, the Red Hands are fancied to bring Armagh's championship participation to an end.

Verdict - Tyrone.

Tyrone team: Niall Morgan; Aidan McCrory, Ronan McNamee, PJ Quinn; Ronan McNabb, Matthew Donnelly, Justin McMahon; Colm Cavanagh, Sean Cavanagh; Emmett McKenna, Kyle Coney, Ciaran McGinley; Darren McCurry, Niall McKenna, Connor McAliskey.

Armagh team: tba.
