The Premier League reaches it’s fifth week of action this week as the ten darting stars roll into Exeter. Luke Humphries is this weeks challenger as he looks to become the first ‘outsider’ to defeat a Premier League regular since the inception of the idea 18 months ago.

First on the bill is rock bottom Daryl Gurney as he looks to turn his fortunes around against 2018 World Champion Rob Cross. ‘Voltage’ is rightly favourite and a win could take him into the play-off picture.

Undefeated table topper Gerwyn Price takes on Glen Durrant in the second game of the evening. ‘Duzza’ lost his undefeated record in Dublin last week, but a win would allow his to leapfrog the Welshman. Price is slight favourite, with smart money looking at the draw.

In form Nathan Aspinall faces reigning World Champion Peter Wright in match three at the Westpoint Arena. ‘The Asp’ defeated Michael van Gerwen in Dublin and will be looking to continue that sensational form with a win over Wright.

Luke Humphries will have to overcome the odds as he faces two-time Premier League champion Gary Anderson. The Scot is odds on against challenger and will be looking to continue his positive momentum after a win over Rob Cross seven days ago.

The main event of the evening sees Michael van Gerwen take to the stage as he looks to exact revenge on Michael Smith. ‘Bullyboy’ defeated MvG over the weekend in Belgium, and will now be looking to do the double with a second win over the World Number One in 5 days.
