Canavan has not started a game since the appointment of Mickey Harte as team manager but is available after returning from the Allstar trip to the United States.

He replaces Frank McGuigan at left full-forward.

Conor Gormley is selected at right full-back with Ryan McMenamin switching to the half-back line to the exclusion of Paul Horisk.

Cormac McAnallen is rested with Colin Holmes moving to midfielder while Sean Cavanagh takes over from Owen Mulligan who picked up an ankle injury in the win over Antrim.

Monaghan, meanwhile, name the same team which defeated an understrength Derry for Sunday's McKenna Cup semi-final against Armagh at Crossmaglen.

Tyrone: P McConnell, C Gormley, C McGinley, M McGee, R McMenamin, G Devlin, P Jordan, C Holmes, K Hughes, E McGinley, B McGuigan, R Mellon, M Harte, S Cavanagh, Peter Canavan.

Monaghan: G Murphy, C Flanagan, D McKenna, P McKenna, J Conlon, D Duffy, JP Mone, A Rooney, J Hughes, P Finlay, G Meehan, T Freeman, C Tavey, R Ronaghan, D Freeman.
