The Derry and Armagh teams have been named ahead of the Ulster SFC corker at Celtic Park on Sunday.
It is a venue which Derry have turned into a fortress over the past two decades, avoiding defeat in championship action at their home pitch for 16 years.
Currently, the form book suggests a victory for the Orchard County, who are the Division 2 NFL Champions and next year will operate in the top tier.
In contrast, Derry have been relegated from Division 1 and will have to cope with the prolific form of Armagh’s menace in attack, captain Steven McDonnell.
The Ulster SFC opener throws-in at 2.00pm in Celtic Park.
Armagh: P Hearty; A Mallon, K Toner, B Donaghy; P Duffy, C McKeever, F Moriarty; C Vernon, J Lavery; M Macklin, A Kernan, G Swift; B Mallon, S McDonnell, R Henderson.
Derry: B Gillis; B Óg McAlary, K McGuckian, D McBride; F O’Kane, B McGuigan, M Bateson; F Doherty, Patsy Bradley; S McGoldrick, M Lynch, D Mullan; Paddy Bradley, E Bradley, R Wilkinson.
