Luke Humphries and Michael van Gerwen go head to head tonight competing for the World Matchplay Darts 2024 crown.
Luke Humphries aims to become only the fourth player in history to win both the World Championship and World Matchplay in the same year as he faces Michael van Gerwen tonight at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool.
Van Gerwen, one of the three players to have already achieved this remarkable feat, will be keen to improve on a challenging season. The veteran displayed impressive form in his first-round win over young sensation Luke Littler and will be looking to build on that momentum tonight.
"Cool Hand" Luke Humphries, seeking his fifth major title in under a year, is the 8/15 favourite (best price at Betfred) to overcome former world number one van Gerwen.
