Dungannon boss Rodney McAree clearly had one eye on today's game in Monday's night's 3-0 league defeat to newly-crowned champions Linfield.

He makes seven changes from that game with regular number one Declan Dunne returning from suspension to take his place in goal.

He is joined in the starting line-up by Dean Curry, James Knowles, John McGovern, Leo Alves, Andy Mitchell and Gael Bigirimana, none of whom featured against the Blues.

Team selection has been far from straightforward for Bangor boss Lee Feeney who is without midfield duo Tiarnan Mulvenna and Robbie Garrett – who have both accumulated two yellow cards in the Irish Cup – while defender Jack Reilly is cup-tied, having played for Newington against the Seasiders earlier in the competition.

Feeney is also forced into a change in goal as on-loan Patrick Solis Grogan can’t play against his parent club Dungannon so 40-year-old James Taylor is between the posts.

Liam Hassin replaces Mulvenna in Bangor's only other change from last week's win at Dundela.

Bangor: Taylor, McGuinness, Byers, Owens, Neale, O'Mahony, Harrison, McArthur, Hassin, Cushnie, Arthurs.

Subs: Fry, Reid, Mathieson, Halliday, Morgan, McDonagh, Hughes.

Dungannon Swifts: Dunne, Scott, Curry, Wallace, Glenny, Bigirimana, Knowles, Dillon, Alves, McGovern, Mitchell.

Subs: Henderson, Marron, McGinty, Galvin, Maguire, Hutchinson, Bermingham.

It's time for the second Irish Cup semi-final after holders Cliftonville eased to a 3-0 victory over Ards last night.

Dungannon will be hoping for a similar outcome as they also take on a Championship side from north Down.

But this Bangor team are a real threat, sitting eight points clear at the top and poised for a return to top-flight football.

The Seasiders also showed they are more than capable of beating Premiership opposition after a stunning 3-1 win over Glentoran to make the last-four stage.

It's a meeting of two teams hungry for Irish Cup glory - Bangor's only success came in 1993 while the Swifts are chasing a maiden triumph in local football's blue ribbon competition.

We're all set for what promises to be a cracking contest with the prize a spot in the 3 May decider.

You can watch the action unfold here and BBC iPlayer and there's also radio commentary, text updates and in-play clips from the Seaview showdown.
