Thursday April 25: Night 13

  • TV Coverage: Sky Sports (1900 GMT)
  • Format: Quarter-Finals, best of 11 legs
  • Venue: M&S Bank Arena, Liverpool

Luke Littler v Gerwyn Price

  • Head to Head: 3-1 (TV: 3-1)
  • 2024 PL Average: 99.36 - 99.38
  • 2024 PL 180s per leg: 0.32 - 0.33
  • 2024 PL checkout percentage: 38.05% - 40.87%
  • 2024 PL legs won with 100+ C/O: 10.07% - 14.11%

Gerwyn Price's race is almost over unless he wins at least three of the remaining four nights and gets the points that his statistics deserve.

He's average of 99.38 is second only to Luke Humphries, he ranks third for 180s per leg, his checkout percentage is third best and he wins more legs with 100+ checkouts than anyone else.

But for some reason he's only won seven matches and finds himself 10 points behind fourth-placed Michael van Gerwen.

Statistically he's been performing extremely well on the European Tour and Players Championship circuit, regularly smashing in the 100+ averages and even though this past weekend's event didn't go to plan, he did register a 110 average before bowing out to eventual champion Gary Anderson.

Unfortunately he might just be about to catch Luke Littler at the wrong time again after the 17-year-old endured a few lean weeks from a stats perspective.

Littler averaged 102 in a quarter-final defeat to Michael Smith in Rotterdam and then posted two more 100+ averages on the European Tour at the weekend despite ultimately bowing out to Luke Humphries in a deciding leg.

It could be an absolute belter but I'm going to give the edge to Price as he bids to keep his hopes alive.

Verdict: Will appear here...

Luke Humphries v Nathan Aspinall

  • Head to Head: 6-6 (TV: 3-4)
  • 2024 PL Average: 100.85 - 95.65
  • 2024 PL 180s per leg: 0.36 - 0.25
  • 2024 PL checkout percentage: 42.43% - 36.12%
  • 2024 PL legs won with 100+ C/O: 10.48% - 11.57

Luke Humphries managed to get himself back on top of the standings last week despite a semi-final defeat to Rotterdam winner Nathan Aspinall and may need to get revenge if he's to stay there.

Their match was a pretty poor affair and earlier in the season Humphries' average of 92 would have stuck out like a sore thumb. He's not been that explosive in recent weeks but on Sunday reminded us of his A-game with 100+ averages in victories over Luke Littler and Stephen Bunting.

He slumped back down during a quarter-final exit to Rob Cross and can't afford to be mediocre against Aspinall again given how the Stockport thrower is ultra consistent at the moment and would also be leading a table based on battling spirit.

Humphries to win with most 180s - or to complete a match treble - are very short prices and probably isn't a reliable option based on form.

Verdict: 6-5

Peter Wright v Michael van Gerwen

  • Head to Head: 27-75, 2 draws (TV: 9-42, 2 draws)
  • 2024 PL Average: 93.17 - 98.01
  • 2024 PL 180s per leg: 0.25 - 0.29
  • 2024 PL checkout percentage: 32.00% - 33.33%
  • 2024 PL legs won with 100+ C/O: 6.12% - 12.38%

Michael van Gerwen's big night in Rotterdam was a damp squib and he may now be starting to feel the pressure of qualifying for the play-offs with Michael Smith breathing down his neck.

MVG responded by reaching a European Tour semi-final at the weekend without playing his best and he'll be heavily fancied to pick up two points at the very least on Thursday when he kicks off against the hapless Peter Wright.

Snakebite did actually beat van Gerwen in European Tour and Players Championship matches back in March when it looked like he was gradually getting his game back together after torrid time but it all looks like it's falling to pieces again.

Wright averaged just 77 against Nathan Aspinall last week then managed 88 in a first-round defeat to Mickey Mansell at the weekend - so it's hard to make much of a case on him causing an upset.

MVG dominates the form, 180 hitting and 100+ checkouts so the match treble is a tempting proposition.

Verdict: 2-6

Michael Smith v Rob Cross

  • Head to Head: 6-19 (TV: 5-12)
  • 2024 PL Average: 96.39 - 96.81
  • 2024 PL 180s per leg: 0.35 - 0.24
  • 2024 PL checkout percentage: 38.62% - 39.80%
  • 2024 PL legs won with 100+ C/O: 11.6% - 12.50%

Rob Cross is drinking in last chance saloon after six successive quarter-final defeats leaves him well out of the play-off picture.

Three of those came against his bogey player Nathan Aspinall in a four week spell that really knocked him out of rhythm but he seemed to get some confidence back at the weekend when defeating Luke Humphries en route to the semi-finals, where he was edged out by eventual champion Gary Anderson.

Cross did beat Smith in their only Premier League clash back in February and if he can produce a performance he regularly delivers away from this stage then I fancy him to upset the odds.

Smith has the pressure of trying to catch Michael van Gerwen and overall his statistical form hasn't been that much better than Cross in recent weeks. It could be a tight encounter that the underdog prevails.

Verdict: 4-6
