Gabby and Mark Pougatch play darts with the world's best, teenage superstar Luke Littler and world number one Luke Humphries, ahead of the biggest tournament of the year - the PDC World Darts Championships (18:25).

Seventeen-year-old Littler has gone from 164th to 4th in the world in just a year, winning 10 titles and over £1m in prize money. Humphries has won seven major titles in just over a year, beating Littler to become world champion.

Do they consider themselves rivals? How has Littler dealt with his rapid rise to fame? And what darts tips can they give us?

Plus, to bring us up to speed with the latest from the darts world, we chat to Sky Sports presenter Emma Paton (11:45).

The week on The Sports Agents...

Gabby travels to Newcastle United to speak to players Dan Burn and Amber-Keegan Stobbs, and club icon Shola Ameobi about using the power of the Premier League to help the local community (02:40).

Burn chats about his work with the Foundation, the pressure of 'local hero' status and Eddie Howe's England snub.

Plus... this stadium ain't big enough for the both of us: we look at lots of sports to see if women's football will actually get more fans by sharing the men's stadiums. Is it even feasible long-term? And if not, what's the new plan? That's with ex-England footballer Anita Asante and Host of Counter Pressed podcast, Flo Lloyd-Hughes (13:50).

And Mo Farah chases down a thief - you can guess who won! (23:16)

Gabby travels to Newcastle to speak to Dan Burn (21:54), captain of the women's team, Amber-Keegan Stobbs (9:21), and club icon, Shola Ameobi (02:14). All three are involved in the Newcastle United Foundation, which helps almost 70,000 people across the North East each year.

Burn shares how he uses his time away from the pitch to help his local community. He talks about Eddie Howe and the England job, and how he might not have coped with the pressure of being a local hero if he'd started his senior career at Newcastle.

Ameobi tells us how the Foundation helped him go from a 5-year-old who arrived in Newcastle from Nigeria, unable to speak English, to a Premier League player with almost 400 appearances for the club.

Plus, Stobbs shares her mental health journey and talks about the rapid rise of the women's team, record crowds of almost 30,000 in the fourth tier, and back-to-back promotions into the Championship.

Big crowds filling big stadiums is the dream for most sports - and women's football did just that (well, at least the big stadiums bit) at the weekend. For the first time ever, all the games in the top two leagues of women’s football were hosted in main stadiums. 

But, after Arsenal's recent fixture clash - is sharing stadiums feasible? If not, what's the long-term plan to grow attendances? And how does moving around impact the players and fans? We spoke to ex-England player Anita Asante and host of Counter Pressed podcast, Flo Lloyd-Hughes.

As England and Wales continue long losing runs in the rugby, Gabby and Mark ask, if Steve Borthwick and Warren Gatland were football managers would they have lasted this long?

And thieves steal a phone from Mo Farah - did they really think they could outrun him?!

This week on The Sports Agents,

Donald Trump will be the President when the U.S. host the World Cup and the Olympics - what will that mean for global sport? We speak to The Telegraph’s Sport Investigations Reporter, Ben Rumsby, and Amnesty International’s Head of Sport and Labour Rights, Steve Cockburn. 

With Mike Tyson back in the ring 19 years later facing YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul - are influencers killing boxing or throwing it a lifeline? We debate it out with Kalle Sauerland, Co-President of Misfits Boxing and Head of Boxing at Wasserman and The Guardian’s Chief Sports Reporter, Sean Ingle. 

As cycling great Mark Cavendish retires, we find out about the man behind the lycra with his friend and ex-Team GB team mate Adam Blythe. 

And how does Gabby think influencers should be punished when they take things a bit too far...?

21:34 - When influencers go too far...

As a 58-year-old Mike Tyson gets back in the ring - 19 years after his last professional fight - to take on young YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, are boxing purists right to be up in arms?

Could Paul become the 'new face of the sport' if he wins? Are influencers killing boxing or giving it a lifeline? And in a world where content is king, are these fights here to stay?

We discuss it all with The Guardian's Chief Sports Reporter, Sean Ingle, and Kalle Sauerland, who’s promoted over 30 world champions including Oleksandr Usyk, and is also the brains behind the influencer boxing company, Misfits Boxing (along with KSI).

And did this influencer take it too far by bringing a camera crew to the New York marathon? And how does Gabby want him to be punished?

Plus, is Harry Kane right about England dropouts? Or has he got a Bayern bias?

Will FIFA’s powers grow thanks to Gianni Infantino’s ‘great friend’?

How would he fix golf in 15 minutes?

This week on The Sports Agents,

Do winning teams need to be a bit "toxic"? England rugby centurion Danny Care, who has won three Six Nations and two Premiership titles, joins us on the podcast to discuss the "dictatorship ruled by fear" at England under Eddie Jones.

Plus, Care spills some of his party stories - can you guess what tattoo he got in Vegas with his England team mates?

Later, we chat about the 'haves' and the 'have nots' in tennis. We're joined by former professional tennis player Conor Niland - if you haven't heard of him, that's kind of the point! The man who beat Roger Federer aged 12 tells us about the loneliness and grind of being outside the top 100, and life on tour with the golden generation.

As Arsenal lose their hugely popular sporting director Edu, we speak to Clive Palmer from The Arsenal Vision Podcast, about the void that he's left at the club and how to fill it.

And we share our sporting howler stories. If you've got one of your own please get in touch!

England rugby centurion Danny Care, who won three Six Nations and two Premiership titles, joins Gabby and Mark on the podcast today...

"A dictator who ruled by fear" - that's how Care describes ex-England manager Eddie Jones. Hyper-successful sporting environments can be toxic. But is that the price you pay to win? Is that healthy? And does it give one person too much power to define careers and lives?

Care also spills some of his rugby stories too - what tattoo do you think he got in Vegas with his England team mates? We find out.

And was that Noel Gallagher on Man City's Champions League commentary?!

Plus Gabby & Mark dissect two very different press conferences involving one former Manchester United manager (Jose Mourinho) and one incoming one (Ruben Amorim).

Later, as the world’s top eight tennis players battle it out at the end of year Finals, we look at what is life like for all the players that never make it to those heights? Former professional tennis player Conor Niland, who beat Roger Federer aged 12, tells us about the loneliness, the grind of being outside the top 100 and about life on tour with the golden generation.
