2018 World Champion Rob Cross currently sits at the top of the league table, and is crucially four points clear of fifth-placed Daryl Gurney with two games to play.

Cross knows that a draw against fourth-placed Mensur Suljovic in Sheffield would ensure his semi-final spot, while a win keeps him on course to become only third player in Premier League history to top the regular season table, after Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen.

Van Gerwen sits a point behind Cross following last week’s defeat to Daryl Gurney in Manchester, with the Dutchman taking on Peter Wright on Thursday in a repeat of the 2017 Premier League final.

The Dutchman won the Austrian Darts Open over the weekend – defeating Wright 6-5 in the quarter-finals – and is aiming to bounce back on the Premier League stage in style.

Third-placed James Wade takes on Michael Smith, who also cannot qualify, and the 2009 Premier League winner is aiming to secure his place in the Play-Offs for a first time since 2013.

A huge match-up in Sheffield sees Daryl Gurney and Gerwyn Price – who sit in fifth and sixth place respectively – clash in a game which could end one of the pair’s Play-Off hopes. Gurney has never previously beaten Price on TV in four previous meetings.
