Happy Dartmas!
The climax and crescendo of the darts season is upon us as 96 players battle it out for PDC World Championship glory at the Alexandra Palace - but is it actually a two-horse race?!
Our tungsten expert Chris Hammer (@ChrisHammer180) joins Sporting Life Podcast host Ben Coley (@bencoleygolf) to preview three weeks of action, which starts on Friday, and dissect the draw quarter-by-quarter in a bid to unearth the value and challengers to Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price
Former major winner and pundit Paul Nicholson is the star guest to give you extra insight into all the burning issues, including Raymond van Barneveld's farewell, the female hopefuls and the 2020 Premier League selection.
Plus there's big interviews with last year's semi-finalist Nathan Aspinall, who has also won two TV titles this season, and Glen Durrant following an incredible debut year on the PDC circuit.
