We won’t have to wait long for the Gary Anderson – Phil Taylor rematch

Homeworld of sport

On Sunday, Gary Anderson and Phil Taylor contested one of the all-time great PDC World Darts Championship finals, and it looks like we'll only be waiting a few more weeks before they step up to the oche again.

The first round fixtures for the darts Premier League have been announced, and surprise, surprise, the new World Champion Anderson will come up against The Power on the opening night in Leeds on February 5. While fans were treated to 13 sensational sets of darts on Sunday night as Anderson won 7-6, sadly it will be a much shorter affair in Leeds, with the Premier League's 12 leg format. Taylor and Anderson will be second last match of the night, with Dave Chisnell and Peter Wright opening the action, followed by Raymond van Barneveld v Adrian Lewis, Kim Huybrechts v Michael van Gerwen, and Stephen Bunting taking on James Wade after the world final rematch.
