Monaghan v Fermanagh (19:00 BST)
Martin McHugh
BBC punditQuote MessageThis is a massive year for Monaghan and I'm looking forward to seeing them. I feel this Monaghan team has underachieved but they have a brilliant goalkeeper, the best defence and now three quality forwards.
Team newspublished at 18:52 British Summer Time 20 May 2017
Monaghan v Fermanagh (19:00 BST)
I don't believe it! There is strong speculation that the teams are going to play as selected.
Monaghan named an experienced team with Ballybay's Dessie Ward their only championship debutant.
Conor Murphy is Fermanagh's sole debutant although Cian McManus and Kane Connor will be making their first championship starts.
With Pete McGrath without several experienced campaigners, the Erne county have only seven starters from last summer's qualifiers defeat by Mayo.
Monaghan: R Beggan; F Kelly, D Wylie, R Wylie; C Walshe (capt), V Corey, N McAdam; K Hughes, K O'Connell; G Doogan, S Carey, D Ward; C McCarthy, J McCarron, C McManus.
Fermanagh: T Treacy; M Jones, C Cullen, C McManus; A Breen, R McCluskey, CP Murphy; E Donnelly, L Cullen; B Mulrone, R Lyons, P McCusker; K Connor, Sean Quigley, T Corrigan.

Martin McHugh
BBC punditQuote MessageMonaghan are the best team in Ulster in my opinion. From reading between the lines Fermanagh aren't going well. They didn't go well in the league and then lost a few players with injuries and players leaving. They have a small pick so I expect an easy enough victory for Monaghan.

End of twitter postUlster hostilities under waypublished at 18:01 British Summer Time 20 May 2017
Monaghan v Fermanagh (19:00 BST)
Another Ulster Football campaign starts with a derby at Clones as Monaghan, strongly fancied to lift the title, host a under-strength Fermanagh side who suffered relegation to Division Three in the Spring.
Monaghan's recent Ulster triumphs back in 2013 and 2015 increased their haul of Anglo-Celt Cup triumphs to an impressive 16 - second in the roll of honour behind Cavan's 37 titles.
In contrast, Fermanagh are the only Ulster county never to have lifted the title with final appearances in 1914, 1935, 1945, 1982 and 2008 the closest the Erne County has come to Anglo-Celt glory.
Monaghan are red-hot favourites but Fermanagh boss Pete McGrath has insisted in the run-up to this evening's game that his side are capable of causing a big surprise.
Let the hostilities begin.
