Tyrone boss Mickey Harte is expecting Kerry to upset the odds and dethrone Dublin of their Division One title on Sunday.
Harte's side take on Cavan in the Division Two decider before the big meeting at HQ, where he believes the Kingdom will end Jim Gavin's side unbeaten run between league and championship, which stretches back to March 2015.
"Dublin have got this winning run and they are in a very good place and have been for a number of years," Harte said in today's Irish Daily Star.
"But, you are well aware that Kerry don't take beatings too well and they don't get that many of them because of that. They're due to have a bit of a bite in them again.
"I think we're in for a hell of a final. I'm not going to sit on the fence, I think Kerry have more desire to win this game than Dublin at the minute.
"I do think Kerry do have a greater desire to beat Dublin than any other team at the minute, because they see this as a stepping stone to take back their position of superiority, of the last 20 years. So, I think there is a greater need for Kerry to win."
