Mickey Harte has brought Brian McGuigan into the Tyrone starting line-up to face Dublin in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final at Croke Park on Saturday.

His inclusion is the only change from the team which started Tyrone's Ulster final victory against Monaghan.

McGuigan replaces his brother Tommy, a knee injury victim, at half-forward. He starts for Tyrone for the first time since the Red Hand's 2008 All-Ireland quarter-final victory over Dublin.

He has already appeared three times this year as a substitute.

Sean Cavanagh, Tyrone’s top scorer in this year’s championship with 0-9, is named at full-forward where he will be expected to pose a stiff test for the Dublin full-back line while 2005 player of the year Stephen O’Neill is named among the substitutes.

Tyrone team for Saturday’s SFC quarter-final against Dublin at Croke Park:

Pascal McConnell, Cathal McCarron, Justin McMahon, Ryan McMenamin, Davy Harte, Conor Gormley, Philip Jordan, Colm Cavanagh, Kevin Hughes, Brian Dooher, Brian McGuigan, Joe McMahon, Martin Penrose, Sean Cavanagh, Owen Mulligan
