Sky Sports Darts pundits Mark Webster, Dan Dawson, Abi Davies and Stuart Pyke share their predictions for the 2025 Premier League Darts season, including their picks for the winner, dark horse, and who will make Finals Night.
Ahead of darts' biggest roadshow getting under way for 2025, the Sky Sports Darts pundits give their Premier League predictions for who will come out on top, shock the rest and make the biggest stage of all at the O2. Mark Webster, Dan Dawson, Abi Davies and Stuart Pyke shared their insights on the upcoming season. Who will win in 2025? It has to be Luke Humphries.
Humphries will be a little wounded from losing the world title, then what happened in the Premier League last year where he lost out in the final. He will be keen to win a title he hasn't won before. Who will the dark horse be? I am going for Gerwyn Price. There are glimpses of Price playing well and if there is anyone who is going to gatecrash that top four, it is Price. He will be there or thereabouts. Who will make Finals Night? The reasons for selecting my top four of Luke Littler, Humphries, Michael van Gerwen and Stephen Bunting are that Littler and Humphries are the two best players in the world so they will comfortably make it. Van Gerwen has the experience, knows what the Premier League is about and, even if he has some bad weeks, will find a way to get to it. He has played it so many times and only failed to make the play-offs once. Bunting I have gone for on current form. I think he looks good, he will be excited to play in it and he is always going to be a threat, being something new. I am going to go for Luke Humphries. I say Humphries for every tournament that he plays because I think he is the best player. It is not by much but I think Humphries had a disappointing defeat to an unbelievable Peter Wright at the World Championship and that has not actually changed the fact he is the No 1 player in the world. But it will be tight. There are no dark horses, they are eight of the best players in the world. But the one I am interested in seeing how they do is Gerwyn Price. He undoubtedly has the ability, there has just been something missing for the last year or so. I want to see if he can get it back because if he does, he can win the whole thing. I will go for Humphries, Luke Littler, Michael van Gerwen - although I don't think he is nailed on - and Stephen Bunting. I think Bunting is going to be consistent. He has been consistently good for quite some time, he should have won more titles than he already has, he is coming into this on the back of winning in Bahrain. I think he is going to give a good account of himself. I think it is going to be a very close fight for that fourth spot. I expect Nathan Aspinall to be competitive because he always is but he has finished fifth a couple of times. I have no reason to not think Chris Dobey will be good but last time he played in it he was good and finished up sixth or seventh. I think it is going to be a very tight one, it will go down to the last couple of weeks and there is going to be multiple players vying for the top four spots. I am backing Michael van Gerwen, which would have been ludicrous even a couple of months ago. Obviously he is without a major title and it did take him until September 2024 to win his first ranking title of the year. Despite that defeat in the World Championship final to Luke Litter, we did see something from the 'Green Machine' at Ally Pally that we have not seen for a while. He found a level that I didn't think he had at his disposable at that moment in time. We know he loves this format, I am backing him to have a more consistent 2025 and I think he will pick up Premier League title number eight. I don't believe there can be a dark horse in the Premier League. Eight elite players, all major winners, all capable of producing a high standard consistently enough to win. Even with Nathan Aspinall's injury problems, we know he is good enough and enough of a gritty fighter to win at least a few nights. It is only because of those injury concerns that I have questions about his ability to reach the O2. I expect Van Gerwen, Luke Humphries, Luke Littler and Stephen Bunting. I expect Humphries to have another brilliant year that is sprinkled with major titles and I certainly can't see him failing to reach Finals Night. I am sure Littler is going to continue to do 'Luke Littler' things in a very exciting manner. The way he uses the board is absolutely thrilling. He is going to have another campaign of funky finishing and double-10 destruction. We know Bunting is playing the darts of his life and he is going to relish this challenge. The Premier League is a mouth-watering prospect this year
