Peter Wright believes a return to his World Championship winning darts will see him recapture his form as the Cazoo Premier League Play-Off race continues in Aberdeen on Thursday.
The P&J Live will host Night 11 on Thursday, with Wright currently occupying one of the four Play-Off places in fourth. However, the Scot has been left looking over his shoulder at the chasing pack, having failed to win a league phase night since Night One in Cardiff.
Wright has also endured an unusually barren spell on the ProTour - his last title coming in early February - but the world number one insists he knows what is needed to change his fortunes.
Wright, who brought the World Cup home to Scotland for a second time in 2021 alongside John Henderson, is sure of a warm welcome to the stage as he takes on Play-Off rival Joe Cullen in a crucial quarter-final tie.
The quarter-finals will also see Scottish legend Gary Anderson looking to lift himself off the foot of the table as he takes on second-placed Jonny Clayton. Night Ten winner James Wade begins his quest for back-to-back night wins against Michael Smith, who is in need of points to drag himself into the Play-Off race.
League leader Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price will meet in a mouth-watering tie, with Price, like Smith and Anderson, also looking to avoid being cut adrift from the Play-Off picture. Coverage will be broadcast from 1900 BST through Sky Sports in the UK & Ireland, through the PDC's global broadcast partners including DAZN and Viaplay and through PDCTV for Rest of the World Subscribers.
