Today's eagerly anticipated game will be a repeat of last year’s Cup final where Tipp ran out winners on a scoreline of Tipperary 4-22 to Clare's 3-11 at the Gaelic Grounds, in Limerick.
Both sides will be keen to get the win ahead of the National League.
Clare who have not won a game since last March will be determined to overcome their Munster rivals.
The Tipperary team to face the Banner sees Sean Maher move into full forward and James Woodlock will be tested in the centre forward position. Darragh Egan retains his position in goal, with Thomas Stapleton and Gearoid Ryan making up the mid-field partnership.
Tipp boast a strong bench with Padraic Maher, Seamus Callanan and Patrick ‘Bonnar’ Maher all ready and able to enter the fray when needed.
Throw-in is at 2 o’clock in Sixmilebridge.
Tipp FM will bring you live updates from the match-up.
