Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode ahead of the World Matchplay!

The boys start this week's show by discussing who should be the favourite to win the World Matchplay title, and if it should be the bookies' pick Luke Littler, before delving into the first-round draw and choosing their favourite session from the opening weekend in Blackpool.

Cameron Menzies (15:30) joins the show ahead of making his World Matchplay debut this weekend. The two-time Players Championship title winner stops by to reflect on the last nine months, joining the roll of honour of PDC senior title winners, reaching his first PDC major quarter-final at the Grand Slam of Darts, quitting his job as a plumber and going full-time as a darts professional and much more!

Alex and Burton continue their World Matchplay preview by making their predictions for who will lift the Phil Taylor Trophy, and then look ahead to the Women's World Matchplay next week and discuss who could possibly dethrone Beau Greaves.

Jermaine Wattimena (1:01:46) calls in ahead of playing in the World Matchplay this weekend. The Dutchman is back at the Winter Gardens for the first time since 2021 and joins the show to reflect on the last few years, falling down the rankings and then his resurgence over the last 12 months, reaching his first major final at the European Championship last year, getting back in the world's top 32 and his continued hunt for a first PDC senior title.
