Price despite not beating Van Gerwen in 13 attempts is confident of seeing him off in what is bound to be a brilliant clash. "Obviously Michael is the number one player in the world and the reigning World Champion, but I know I can give him a good run and I'm confident I can beat him," said Price. "Every time in the past when I've played the likes of Michael I've thought 'can I do it?' but now I'm in a position where I know I can. "I knew I needed to win last week against Mensur [Suljovic] ahead of this week's tough game against Michael and even though I wasn't at my best I managed to keep my good run going. "I'm not afraid of him or anybody and I know if I play my a game I can beat him. You always know he's going to play well but if his 'A game' comes out then I'll have to bring my 'A+ game' out."
