With the Premier League darts edging ever closer, Wayne Mardle takes us through his predictions for the opening night in Leeds. The big boys are coming to the First Direct Arena with Gary Anderson, Michael van Gerwen, Phil Taylor, Adrian Lewis and Raymond van Barneveld just a few of the star-studded names headlining the show, and you can watch the action live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 7pm.Here, Sky Sports darts expert Mardle looks into his crystal ball to divulge his thoughts on some mouth-watering games ahead of us in the first week. Peter Wright v Michael Smith I think Peter Wright wins this. Making a debut is not its great getting up there - it really is nerve-jangling. I think if Peter Wright can get off to just a steady start, make Michael Smith think its a little different here. Hes never played in front of nine or 10 thousand - he wont be used to it. The noise can be off-putting and I think Michael Smith needs everything to go his way. If it doesnt then I think Wright will punish him and I think he will win this game.Michael van Gerwen v James Wade Whoever I talk to every week, this is going to get boring because if you ever here me say I dont think Michael van Gerwen is going to win ask me whats changed. I think Michael van Gerwen wins. I think he wins every week. I dont see anyone on the planet matching him right now - not even Gary Anderson. I just think Michael van Gerwen is the best by far.Phil Taylor v Raymond van Barneveld Its horrible this game. Im trying to look inside the mind of a five-time champion that has come off the back of the World Championship playing well. Barney should be high on confidence. Phil, maybe, just maybe will be ruing the missed darts at the double against Michael van Gerwen last week [at the Masters] rather than thinking do you know what, I played well. I think this is going to be tight but Im going to have to go for a draw because Im finding it hard to pick a winner and a draw is an outcome.Gary Anderson v Adrian Lewis I think Lewis is going to struggle again. I like the way Gary Anderson is playing. World Champion again - hes going to be high on confidence. Hell make the play-offs and I just think this will be two points in the bag. Adrian Lewis will be in a similar position in my opinion - itll be three weeks in and hell be thinking theres always next week. Adrian has got to add some urgency to his game during the Premier League.Robert Thornton v Dave Chisnall I think Chisnall is playing well, I think hes happy within himself. Robert has had health issues with his foot so Im not too sure how that is now, but I just dont think hes playing particularly well. I dont think that consistency is there but of course it can turn around, we know that. Robert Thornton went from nowhere to winning the World Grand Prix. Hes back inside the world top 10 so of course he can win - I just dont think he will.Dave Chisnall and Peter Wright are probably the two best bets of the night.
