World Cup of darts: Jonny Clayton says that Wales will prevent Luke Littleler from England and Luke Humphries from winning the title | Darts News

Jonny Clayton says that his partnership with Gerwyn Price for Team Wales will prevent the dream team of England from Luke Littler and Luke Humphries from winning the Darts World Cup.

After the completion of the group phase, the draw for the last 16 times will take place on Friday evening, while England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will open their title offers in the second round of Saturday.

Humphries in the world n ° 1 and world champion Littler will form a dream partnership for the five -time winners in England, while Littleler will make its eagerly awaited debut.

But Clayton and Price will aim to lead the country of Wales to a third triumph of the event of the pairs after the victory in 2020 and 2023.

“We have gotten our hands on the trophy twice and now we want it a third time,” the Ferret “said. “People have asked whether Gezzy plays or does he not play. If GEZZY says he plays, it’s good enough for me, so that’s all that matters.

“I don’t care that England is the world n ° 1 and n ° 2, these are Welsh boys, we will stop them. We are here to win the trophy. You want to win trophies that you have to beat the big name players.

“We are both in good shape. GEZZY came out of the Premier League after the end of the finals and I play well tidy darts, so we are ready to leave. We want this trophy.

“All the big titles are the two Lukes and the other song is that Jonny and Gezzy stop them? Jonny and Gezzy will stop them if we meet them.

“We want to be the World Cup champions. Me and Gezzy have a good click, good days, they are all rugby jokes.”

Clayton thinks that there will be increasing pressure on Littleler and Humphries to succeed with the duo ratings to seal the glory in Frankfurt.

“There is always pressure on the favorites,” said the Welshman. “If the favorites do not work, they get it from all angles. The one who wins it will have played very good darts.

“If England stands before us, they will have problems.

“They do everything correctly and you can never hit this, but the world n ° 5 and the world n ° 10 have something to say in a team event. Whatever the rank you will all try to do for each other.”

Will we see a new darter of a pair?

“I hope that a story will be made, but I hope that GEZZY will be able to share what the three darts are worth with him. He could give me a dart. It will do me well,” joked Clayton.

“If you hit a new darter, you have to be on the song and I think GEZZY has proven that he is in good shape by reaching the Final League final. It will be a Welsh victory.”

Can England be stopped?

Laura Turner and Matt Edgar spoke to Emma Paton on the latest edition of the Podcast Love The Darts if Wales can stop the dream pairs of Humphries and Littler of England.

“I like their dynamics together,” said Turner. “They also have a story and a success experienced here and they get along. If Gerwyn Price is happy and impatiently awaits an event, it is conducive to get the most out of him.

“Clayton in recent months has been exceptional. It has gone through the ranks and now it is the world n ° 5. This is another really solid team.”

Edgar added: “Can they push England? Yes, can they. Can they beat England? This is a completely different question.

“They can push England but I don’t think they will exceed them.
