Roscommon senior football manager, Davy Burke, has named his match-day panel for Saturday evening's All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-final against Tyrone at O'Neills Healy Park, Omagh, at 5 p.m..
There are no changes to the starting 15 that saw off Cavan by 3-20 to 1-20 in Glennon Brothers Pearse Park, Longford, last weekend.
Eoin McCormack, Enda Smith, Brian Stack and Diarmuid Murtagh, who featured prominently against Cavan, are selected to start.
Cathal Heneghan returns to the substitutes bench.
Since 2011, the counties have met five times in the championship, with Tyrone coming out on top on all five occasions.

However, Roscommon won the 2023 league meeting between the sides, 3-11 to 1-12, at Dr. Hyde Park.
