The game of the night is Match 4 which sees James Wade looking for his first win in this years competition against none other than Phil Taylor.

Phil Taylor is the 2/5 favourite with Paddy Power to win the competition outright.

To put it into context just how far ahead he is, Barney is 2nd on the list with a mere £277,437.
