Peter Wright and Gerwyn Price have recovered enough to take part in night six at Motorpoint Arena.

MVG Looking to make it three on the bounce

Michael van Gerwen will be looking to extend his lead at the top of the Premier League table by making it three winning nights in a row.

Van Gerwen’s opening opponent will be Gerwyn Price. Gerwyn Price didn’t feature last week in Premier League or German Darts Championship, which his opponent tonight won both events. 

Michael who won both events last week looks in fantastic form and will be looking to take advantage of a player who hasn’t been in action since his Quarter Final loss at UK Open to Danny Noppert.

The winner will take on either last week’s runners-up, Michael Smith, or James Wade, who meet in an all-English encounter to open up proceedings in Nottingham.

Wright returns after Euro Tour Withdrawal

Peter Wright will be looking to return to the top of the Premier League table, after losing the top spot to MVG on night five.

Snakebite is another player who is carrying an injury, after withdrawing from the German Darts Championship due to a back injury.

Snakebite will take on Rockstar, who is looking to break into the top four.

Joe Cullen currently sits in sixth in the table on his debut year, however, he’s only two points off Price and Wade who occupy fourth and fifth respectively.

The winner of the final Quarter Final will take on Gary Anderson or Jonny Clayton for a place in the final on night six.

Premier League Format

Each night will see quarter-finals, semi-finals, and a final played over the best of 11 legs (first to six).
Each player will meet the other seven players twice throughout the season in a quarter-final game, plus two further nights will feature additional fixtures in the same format.
