Jesus, this is going to be some game.
At 4pm on Saturday, the All-Ireland football championship will explode into life with the most anticipated match of the season.
Tyrone take on Mayo in what will be a hotly contested clash for a place in the All-Ireland semi-finals and, despite never failing to reach the last four for four times in a row, the Connacht men are ranked outsiders for the game.
Tyrone to win: 4/6
Mayo to win: 13/8
After disposing of Westmeath – eventually – Stephen Rochford has made just one change to his team for the face-off with Mickey Harte’s outfit.

Mayo have recalled Diarmuid O’Connor, of course they bloody have.
But, for him, Jason Doherty has made way despite hitting 1-1 last weekend. One school of thought suggested that Kevin McLoughlin might have been sacrificed having struggled to impressed in the sweeper role, but the manager has reverted to his tried and tested side.
