"He's a contender. He got to the semi's last year albeit the draw was quite generous to him. If he clicks, he's in that section with Gerwyn Price and he could have a good run. But it just doesn't seem to happen for him at the World's," said Webster on Love The Darts.

"Got to focus now and like I say the seeded players just get that one game and get focused for after Christmas. He needs to up his level of performance and James will know that as well."

"He'll think I'm a Premier League player but if he goes up early, you don't see him getting into it do you," said Bridge.
