PDC commentators Dan Dawson and Abigail Davies unanimously pick Van Gerwen and Clayton for Premier League Darts play-offs

With the build-up to the Premier League Darts that kicks off on Thursday in Belfast, PDC commentators Dan Dawson and Abigail Davies spoke on the Love the Darts podcast about their play-off line-ups put on the spot by Emma Paton.

"I've got to pick four names so it'd be funny if I got them all wrong. I'm going to say Jonny Clayton, Dimitri van den Bergh, Michael van Gerwen and Peter Wright will," said Dawson on Love the Darts podcast.

"I'm going MVG, Aspinall, Jonny Clayton and Gezzy Price, no Welsh bias in there at all. I'm even putting Barrie Bates in there and he isn't even there," said Davies.

No Smith

Remarkably, neither opts for reigning world champion Michael Smith. Nor do they seem to believe in the chances of debutant Masters winner Chris Dobey.
