US Masters quarter-finals betting preview, free tips, when to watch

ITV4, 8pm Friday

They love a title fight in Las Vegas so American arrers fans are in for a treat on Friday night when Gary Anderson and Gerwyn Price go toe-to-toe for the first time since that infamous Grand Slam bust-up in November.

There’s absolutely no love lost between Anderson and Price, who were involved in a shoving match in last year’s Grand Slam final which the Welshman won.

Price’s theatrics that night cost him a record fine and suspended ban and Anderson would doubtless love to avenge that loss when the rivals clash in the US Masters quarter-finals at the Mandalay Resort.

Anderson goes off the 4-7 favourite for the best-of-15 legs shootout and even though he’s rusty coming back from injury, the former world champ showed the magic is still there when he partnered Peter Wright to World Cup glory for Scotland last month.

There is also a repeat of the Ladbrokes UK Open final with Nathan Aspinall and Rob Cross meeting for the first time since The Asp triumphed 11-5 in Minehead in March.

Both men looked good in round one - Aspinall averaged 98-plus against Shawn Brenneman while Cross cleared three figures whitewashing Leonard Gates – but the debutant is the value at 2-1.

The fun starts at 8pm in the UK & Ireland, live on ITV4, with the tournament played to a finish this evening.
