Phil Taylor has revealed that he is excited about trying to improve his game for the 2015 PDC season.

The Stoke-on-Trent thrower suffered defeat in last month's PDC World Championship final to Gary Anderson, but ahead of his Premier League opener against the Scot, the 16-time world champion believes that he can take his game to the next level.

The 54-year-old told PDC.tv: "I'm sure me and Gary will have a good game and I'm really excited.

"I still think I can push on, improve and up my level and that's what I'm aiming to do during the season. Every game this year is going to be like a final because the field is full of great players, and it should be a fantastic season."

Taylor has won the Premier League on six occasions, with his last success coming in 2012.
