Peter Wright endured the perfect start to life as World Champion winning The Masters but his Premier League campaign didn't start as well.
Wright suffered defeat to Michael van Gerwen but tonight takes on his fellow World Cup winning partner Gary Anderson and it's a game he is looking forward to with fireworks promised if they both hit top form.
"Obviously, losing to Michael was a disappointment but I don't think I played too badly," said Wright.
"That game is gone now, so as soon as it was finished I was looking ahead to playing Gary.
"Gary is a player I have huge respect for, I loved winning the World Cup with him last year so it should be a great game if we both play like we can."

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
