The PDC World Cup of Darts at The Eissporthalle in Frankfurt kicked off last night - with pre-tournament contenders Germany, Australia and Belgium getting the job done.
With the World Cup now underway - let's take a look at who are the favourites with Sky Bet to be crowned champions come Sunday.
England are the odds-on favourites to win - with dynamic duo Luke Humphries and Michael Smith valued at 8/13 to secure England's fifth title since the tournament's inception in 2010 and first since 2016.
A big omission from the England team is Luke 'the Nuke' Littler - who is ineligible for the World Cup due to a PDC rule.

Netherlands to win the PDC World Cup of Darts has been price boosted with Sky Bet to 9/2
Selection for the tournament is decided by the two highest-ranked players from each nation per the PDC's Order of Merit.
The Order of Merit looks at the total prize money won by a player over a two-year period - and given Littler had secured just £2,500 in winnings prior to his historic run at the PDC World Championships in December - the 17-year-old currently finds himself 25th in the rankings.
Meanwhile, Netherlands are the second-favourite to be crowned champions, with world No 2 Michael van Gerwen and Danny Noppert attracting boosted odds of 9/2.
Germany, Scotland and defending champions Wales round out the five favourites in the market at 15/2, 10/1, 14/1 and 14/1 respectively.
