"I know that it’s in Michael’s head that he hasn’t beaten me for a while," insisted Price.
"I went on a 19 or 20-game streak without beating Michael, so if I can get him past that I will be happy!
"The pressure is off now going into the next couple of weeks, but there is still £10,000 up for grabs, so I still want to win the nights and keep the other boys that haven’t qualified under pressure.
“It’s a nice feeling to be top of the table, but I’m not worried about top spot to be honest. I was just eager to get into the top four, and hopefully I can keep on winning."
