Schedule and preview Saturday afternoon session 2023 Masters including Humphries-Dobey and Anderson-Cross

The format increases and the top seeds come into play at the 2023 Masters on Saturday afternoon in Milton Keynes with some top ties awaiting.

Gary Anderson saw off Dimitri van den Bergh on the opening night as he looks to kick start what will be a pivotal season defending his darting future and despite being unranked, it will be a confidence boosting weekend if he can go on a run.

Rob Cross won't like many have his eyes on the Premier League saying last week: "I'm not even in the conversation, I'm not bothered." so could be a free roll compared to certain players who may have been preoccupied by it.

This includes Joe Cullen who was dumped out by Chris Dobey in the defence of his Masters title and now 'Hollywood' will face off against Luke Humphries who will certainly be in the reckoning for the roadshow.

Jonny Clayton will too and faces a Machine in James Wade who looked good in seeing off Callan Rydz. While Danny Noppert as UK Open champion will look to force the selectors hands facing off against Stephen Bunting. A big darting weekend starts now.
