Overview

• Michael van Gerwen is four points behind Nathan Aspinall in the Premier League standings and must win their quarter-final and the entire night in Sheffield to qualify for the Play-Offs.
• Nathan Aspinall, currently fourth with 24 points, can secure his place at the O2 Arena by defeating van Gerwen in their Sheffield showdown.
• Van Gerwen has not won a televised PDC-ranked event since November 2022, raising questions about his form and ability to perform under pressure.
• Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, and Gerwyn Price have already secured their spots in the Play-Offs, leaving only one berth to be decided on Night 16.
• Former world number one Colin Lloyd has suggested van Gerwen’s dominance may be waning, but the Dutchman remains defiant about his future in the sport.
