This could be 7-1 or 7-2. Phil Taylor reacts to last we

TURIN, Italy -- Juventus star striker Gonzalo Higuain was largely anonymous as his new side was held to a disappointing 0-0 draw by Sevilla in their opening group match in the Champions League on Wednesday.Higuain transferred from rival Napoli for 90 million euros ($99 million) in the offseason after scoring 36 goals last campaign to break a 66-year-old Serie A record. He scored twice in the opening 10 minutes of a 3-1 win over Sassuolo on Saturday.The Argentina forward was kept quiet by a defensive-minded Sevilla at the Juventus Stadium, although he did go closest to breaking the deadlock shortly before the hour mark when he headed Dani Alves cross to the crossbar.The team shouldnt be disappointed, only the result was negative, Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said. Its a pity it was 0-0, everyone was expecting it to be 3-0 but in order to win in Europe, you need to be calm.The performance was good. There were two games in one: in the first they pressed high up and we struggled to attack, in the second they dropped back, and we tried to open their defense, crossing the ball a lot.Higuain almost had a great opportunity with 10 minutes remaining but Sevilla defender Nicolas Pareja managed to get in front of him to clear substitute Miralem Pjanics cross out for a corner.Higuain also fired straight at Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio Rico in the 15th minute when in a good position, moments after teammate Sami Khedira had done the same.Khedira had missed an earlier chance in the eighth minute when put through by Paulo Dybala, but the Germany forwards diagonal effort flew past the left upright.Sevilla substitute Joaquin Correa had a rare sight of goal for the Spanish side in the 66th as he cut in from the right, but his powerful shot flashed wide of Gianluigi Buffons goal.Juventus had a strong penalty appeal waved away in the final minute when Sevilla forward Franco Vazquez appeared to push over Marko Pjaca, while Rico made his first real save moments later to keep out Alex Sandros header.Sevilla, which managed just one shot on target all match, has now not scored at Juventus Stadium in 300 minutes. It drew 0-0 against Benfica in the 2014 Europa League final, before going on to win the first of its three successive titles on penalties, and lost 2-0 to Juventus in last years group stage -- winning 1-0 at home.I think that starting with a draw in Turin against Juventus, with a group that hasnt known each other long, is certainly a great result, Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli said.We are certainly on the right path, we have to try to improve our ball possession, especially in defense, but the difference everyone thought existed between us and Juve before the match has been proved to be less (than expected).

The freshman from Vaughan, Ont.Premier League Darts swings by Nottingham this week but does Wayne Mardle expect any underdogs to steal from the darting rich to to give to the poor? Sky Live: PL Darts Thursday, 7pm, Sky Sports 1 Michael van Gerwen is in red-hot form and looks difficult to stop, while Phil Taylor is finding his rhythm and Gary Anderson plays his protege Michael Smith in their first major match-up. Tune in on Thursday, live on Sky Sports 1 at 7pm.Heres what Sky Sports expert Mardle expects to happen... Gary Anderson v Michael SmithSmith will play well in this game. After winning last week he will feel like hes a part of the Premier League, he will feel better about himself.Whats happened to Gary? Last week he was playing to a standard where I thought, Its time to get your darts out, Wayne. Gary Anderson is struggling for form Anderson had no rhythm, he was releasing them wrong, you could see his hand was following through. Darts is about feel, you need a touch, and he doesnt have it at the moment.Prediction: I cant back Anderson with any confidence so Im going for a draw in a very tight game.Peter Wright v Adrian LewisLewis is doing my head in! I was chatting with him and he told me hes throwing with passion, hes playing great, hes in a lovely rhythm. Last week, he looked like he had nothing.Lewis loses his zest and his va-va-voom so quickly. I think this is an important game for Lewis because if he loses again, he could be in the same situation as last year. He wont be eliminated, he will make the cut, but he could be cut adrift from those who are making a run for the play-offs. Peter Wright brought the house down in Dublin after checking out on 161 This is Lewis 11th Premier League season and hes only made the play-offs twice, thats shocking for someone so talented.Prediction: Im going to go with Wright, just. Its more likely to be a draw than a Lewis win.Raymond van Barneveld v James WadeThis is just so tough to call. I was looking at the odds but they didnt tell me anything. Barney, you dont know what youre going to get. Wade has scored well but his doubles have let him down. We take a look back to 2007 and our first ever trip to Nottingham Barney, against Smith last week, was really poor and he can panic or worry.dddddddddddd Does anyone really want to play James for a living?Prediction: Im going to go with Wade. Hes just a little bit more reliable.Robert Thornton v Phil TaylorThornton played poorly over the weekend at the UK Open and Phil has looked excellent. This could be 7-1 or 7-2. Phil Taylor reacts to last weeks victory Phil shows no remorse, he just wants to annihilate you. Remember that legs count, not just results. Thornton doesnt seem to be over his chest infection - hes well enough to stand up there, but Im not sure hes well enough to compete.Prediction: Id be surprised if Robert gets to four legs.Dave Chisnall v Michael van GerwenI keep saying it to you, I cant choose anyone else to win except Van Gerwen. I just cant do it.Chizzy will be looking to win it but hell want to go in there, relax, and play. Thats not easy to do when youre playing the worlds best player. You dont need to beat Van Gerwen at this stage of the competition but you dont want to lose heavily. The debate has started. Is Michael van Gerwen the greatest darts player ever? In my opinion, if Chisnall can get a draw that would be great. Michael is beatable but the planets have to align. Michael is full of it, when he wants to play well he does just that.Prediction: I dont see Michael getting beaten. Just like Peter Wright last week, Chisnall will play well but it wont be good enough. ' ' '
