Van Gerwen Evens for Paddy Power Champions League win

Michael van Gerwen (PDC)

Michael van Gerwen remains the outright favourite to claim his maiden Paddy Power Champions League of Darts title in Leicester this weekend.

World Champion Van Gerwen is aiming to complete a clean sweep of PDC Premier televised titles at the Champions League, which will be held on October 19-20 at the Morningside Arena.

Van Gerwen has yet to taste victory in the BBC-televised event, having lost in the inaugural final to Phil Taylor in 2016 and missed out in the past two years.

However, after winning the World Grand Prix for a fifth time last week in Dublin, Van Gerwen's odds have been cut to Evens for him to finally end his Champions League wait in Leicester.

Reigning champion Gary Anderson is 7/1 to retain his title alongside world number two Rob Cross, who took the World Matchplay title in July.

2018 Champions League finalist Peter Wright is a 10/1 chance to go all the way this time around, with Daryl Gurney and Gerwyn Price both 12/1 and Michael Smith and James Wade the 14/1 outsiders.
