The battle for play-off spots in the 2019 Premier League Darts is really heating up.

On Night Eleven, the eight remaining competitors met in Liverpool to take us a step closer to the finishing line. Top spot is set to be taken by Rob Cross at the end of the season. A convincing win over Peter Wright means Voltage remains at the head of the Premier League Darts table.
Cross has 17 points, one more than Michael van Gerwen. The Dutchman kept up the pressure with an 8-3 success against Michael Smith. Next week's meeting between the pair in Cardiff could prove crucial.
Even more interesting is the four-way race for the other two play-off places. James Wade, Gerwyn Price, Mensur Suljovic and Daryl Gurney are all level on 12 points with six games left to go.
Wade claims third spot for the time being, thanks to a draw with Gurney. Sandwiched between the pair are Price and Suljovic, with the former having beaten his Austrian counterpart to leapfrog him into the provisional play-off places. Gurney lies sixth in the table due to an inferior leg difference.
Peter Wright remains in seventh, three points off the top six. Michael Smith remains at the foot of the table thanks to his defeat to van Gerwen. The 2019 PDC World Championship runner-up is a point behind Wright. It means that he is four adrift of the quartet battling it out above them.
Wright and Smith will have to beat Wade and Price respectively in Cardiff next week if they have any hope of keeping their Premier League Darts ambitions alive.

- Well,I suppose if you don't play the tournaments ,then why should any player qualify? There are players who enter every tournament,and if they don't win it,they carry on, spending money they haven't won,yet certain players seem to think they should qualify. Winners only I thinkrick6714-11-2026
- Everyone knows what a fantastic champion Taylor was,but his performances in the seniors were poor. He wouldn't throw littler off stage,as he'd miss these days!!rick6712-11-2026
- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026

- Good, absolutely no loss if we never see this dancing goof ever again......no that is not fair. He absolutely cannot and has never been remotely able to dance!richieburnettrocks10-11-2026
- Yes Phil,now the money in the game is bigger than ever,you'd play littler. Well so would I! Retire on your memory Phil,and your successful careerrick6709-11-2026

- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
