Monaghan boss Colm Coyle has made several changes to his side ahead of Sunday's eagerly-awaited Ulster opener with Armagh.
The tie last year was a cracker but several of the victorious Monaghan team from that game are missing.
In all Coyle hands debuts to two players, Dessie Mone and Ed Lennon.
There are also reprieves for Kieran Tavey, Dick Clerkin and Gary McQuaid who all start.
Monaghan (SFC v Armagh): G Murphy; G McQuaid, J Coyle, Ed Lennon; D Duffy, D Clerkin, V Corey; J Hughes, Eoin Lennon; P Finlay, T Freeman, D Mone; K Tavey, R Ronaghan, D Freeman.
