The box office star that is Gerwyn Price has been making more headlines than most in 2019 but predominantly for the right reasons and will be confident of going far in Blackpool.
Love him or hate him, the controversial Grand Slam of Darts champion has been involved in some cracking games on the televised stage during his encouraging Premier League campaign and the UK Open while he's also won back-to-back Players Championship titles away from the crowds.
In total he's reached six semi-finals, including the recent US Darts Masters, and four quarters this season as well as hitting a nine-darter so expect him to get off to a winning start against a player he's beaten three times in a row.
Head-to-head: 1-1

Gary Anderson may well be hot favourite to win this clash as he bids to make a winning start to his World Matchplay title defence but a shock could be on the cards.
The Flying Scotsman has struggled for consistency since making his return from injury this season and while he did triumph alongside Peter Wright in the World Cup of Darts for the first time last month, those games are over a short format and it's questionable whether he'll be able to go far in a tournament like this.
Encouragingly he did reach a Players Championship semi-final the other day - albeit not beating anyone in this field before losing to Wright in the semis - but he looked vulnerable when losing to world number 181 Nico Kurz at the German Darts Masters last week and was also mediocre during defeat against Gerwyn Price in Las Vegas.
Head-to-head: 3-1

Career PDC Titles: 7-0
Last but certainly not least is this potential thriller as Chris Dobey looks to pull off an upset against Rob Cross.
The Northumberland ace may not have won a title yet but he kick started his career again with a superb run at the World Championship, where he gave Gary Anderson an almighty scare in one of the matches of the tournament, and since then he reached his first European Tour final, losing to Dave Chisnall, and also impressed as the first of this season's Premier League Contenders.
Hollywood can definitely give anyone a game but he'll need to reverse a three-game losing streak against Voltage, who beat him most recently at the German Open, if he's to get through to round two.
Cross has statistically been one of the standout performers this season in terms of averages and other metrics but not when it comes to titles won, having not managed to pick up any since last August.
He seems to have few problems negotiating early rounds of tournaments - be it on the stage or the floor - but it's when it comes to the crunch that he falters.
I think he'll win this one but it'll be lose so I like the 3/1 on there being over 16.5 legs, a high checkout of over 127.5 and over 8.5 180s.
Prediction: 10-7
