    Since Conor McManus has come back in, he has added to an exciting Monaghan frontline. There are a lot of scores in there if Monaghan can utilise those front players and they can perform under pressure when shooting

    Tyrone captain Padraig Hampsey is in a positive frame of mind going into his side's quarter-final meeting with Monaghan.

    He says "it's hard to put your finger" on the precise reasons for the Red Hands' poor 2022, but believes momentum within the squad is building nicely on the back of a strong finish to the league campaign.

    After two one-sided affairs so far in this year's Ulster Championship, the neutrals among us are desperate for a competitive contest today as 2021 All-Ireland champions Tyrone face old rivals Monaghan at Healy Park.

    Maybe it's wishful thinking after the low-key start in Ulster but everyone I've spoken to this weekend seems convinced we will have a genuine battle this afternoon.

    A '55-45' contest seems to be the general feeling around with Tyrone definitely favourites after their strong finish to the league but still a few doubts surrounding the Red Hands after some up and down form over the last three months.

    The Monaghan team of the last decade have always been capable of pulling out a big one-off performance even though they haven't been able to reach an All-Ireland Final in that time.

    The ingredients are certainly there for a tight battle but we'll just have to wait and see.

    He's no longer gracing the pitch as he did in the Ulster Championship for many years, but former Donegal captain Michael Murphy is now at the heart of our coverage as an analyst.

    Here are his thoughts on the main talking point from Derry's win over Fermanagh yesterday.

    Three-time All-Ireland winning Tyrone manager Mickey Harte is better placed than anyone to give a view on today's game and he is on punditry duty for BBC Two NI and the BBC iPlayer coverage this afternoon.

    I grabbed a quick word with the great man while we were having a spot of lunch an hour or so ago and he thinks his old team "should" set up a semi-final meeting with holders Derry - but there is a caveat.

    "If Tyrone reproduce the kind of form they showed against Kerry and Armagh then they will win," said Mickey.

    "But they weren't great in a few of their league matches and even against Monaghan, who had two men sent off in that game.

    "If Tyrone don't perform, Monaghan will probably be good enough to beat them."

  14. Top-flight duo set for Healy Park battlepublished at 15:26 British Summer Time 16 April 2023

    Tyrone v Monaghan (16:00 BST throw-in)

    The revamped 2023 Ulster Championship lands in Healy Park this afternoon with Tyrone hosting Monaghan in a quarter-final clash - and our cameras are there to bring you live TV coverage.

    The Red Hands will be looking to build on their strong finish to the National League campaign, which saw them win their last three matches, as they aim to erase the memories of last year's poor All-Ireland title defence.

    One of those Division One victories came against today's opponents at the same venue and the Farneymen make the journey to Omagh having narrowly escaped relegation from the top flight with victory over Mayo on the final day of the league season.

    It's a first championship game in charge for former Farney defender Vinny Corey and he will be hoping the side can repeat their opening-day Ulster Championship win at Healy Park in 2018.

    As well as live coverage on BBC Two NI, BBC iPlayer, website and app, we will have text commentary online with highlights and reaction to follow.

    Throw-in is at 16:00 BST. Enjoy!
