Derry and Tyrone go head-to-head on Sunday in a hotly anticipated Allianz Football League Division One encounter. The fixture is one of the most talked about of the season. Here's all you need to know about Derry v Tyrone.
Mickey Harte caused a massive shock in the GAA world when it was announced that he would be taking the reigns as Derry manager in September.
Harte managed his native Tyrone to three All-Ireland senior football titles and his decision to leave Louth, who he had greatly improved during his tenure, created much debate and discussion.
He will be hoping to inflict defeat on the team he managed for eighteen years on Sunday.
Last month Derry retained the Dr. McKenna Cup and got their league campaign off to the perfect start by beating Kerry on the road one week ago.
Tyrone also earned two points last weekend as they beat Roscommon in Omagh.
When is Derry v Tyrone
The fixture will take place on Sunday the 4th of February in Celtic Park, Derry. Throw in is at 3:45pm.
How To Watch Derry v Tyrone
The game will be live on TG4 on Sunday afternoon with build-up beginning from 3:30pm. The Allianz Hurling League Division One clash between Clare and Cork is on before.
Team News
Derry have named an unchanged team to face Tyrone.
Mickey Harte has opted to make a few positional changes but will be hoping his starting fifteen will make it two wins from two in the league campaign.

Meanwhile Feargal Logan and Brian Dooher make one enforced change to the side who defeated Roscommon on home soil last weekend.
Conn Kilpatrick comes out of the team with Darren McCurry coming in. Kilpatrick was sent off last weekend with Tyrone's decision to take the red card appeal to the Disputes Resolution Authority emerging on Saturday. A decision is expected on Sunday morning.
There are several positional shifts with youngster Ben Cullen moving from half-forward to half-back, Tarlach Quinn taking his place in midfield, Seanie O'Donnell moves from the full-forward line to half-forward, with McCurry taking the number 13 jersey he held last week.
