Co-hosts Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode ahead of the World Matchplay.

Alex and Burton look ahead to the biggest darts tournament of the summer and discuss this year's line up of players as well as who they think should be going to Blackpool as the favourite.

The team also give their predictions on who will win the Phil Taylor Trophy and also pick out a darkhorse from the unseeded players, before discussing this week's announcement that Paddy Power has taken over from Cazoo as the new title sponsor of the PDC World Championship.

Raymond van Barneveld (19:44) calls in ahead of his first appearance in the World Matchplay since 2018. The five-time world champion reflects on his comeback from retirement, as well as outlining his goals for the rest of 2023 after qualifying for Blackpool for the first time in five years.

Sky Sports pundit and commentator Mark Webster (59:55) also joins us to help preview the World Matchplay. The former world champion delves into all things darts and makes his predictions for who will win the World Matchplay and Women's World Matchplay titles next week.

Danny Noppert (1:27:01) joins us for the first time ahead of his latest World Matchplay campaign. The 2022 UK Open champion looks back on his career so far, rising through the ranks in the BDO and reaching a Lakeside final, before making the switch over to the PDC and becoming a major winner and a top eight player.
