MANCHESTER 🐝 Into the business end of the 2023 @CazooUK Premier League, with so much still to play for! Who will be our champion on Night 14?
Schedule and preview Night 14 Premier League Darts: Rivals Van Gerwen and Price battle for top spot in Manchester on Thursday night
PDCThursday, 04 May 2023 at 08:00
With three nights to go in Premier League Darts, the play-offs are getting closer and closer. Gerwyn Price and Michael van Gerwen are already sure of a place on the finals night, but have something else to compete for.
The Welshman and the Dutchman face each other for the sixth time in this Premier League Darts on Thursday night. Three times Price won, and twice Van Gerwen was the best. Price also currently leads the league standings with 33 points, while Van Gerwen follows in second place with 29 points.
So with a win over 'Mighty Mike', 'The Iceman' can take an important step towards securing first place in the rankings in Manchester on Thursday. This could also be important ahead of the play-offs. The number one meets the number four on the final night, while the number two faces the number three.
Behind that duo, three players battle for the remaining two spots in the play-offs. Michael Smith is in pole position with 23 points, but has yet to shake off Nathan Aspinall (22 points) or Jonny Clayton (19 points). Aspinall is the world champion's opponent on Thursday night.
Clayton will take on straggler Peter Wright, who with nine points has no chance of making the play-offs. Dimitri van den Bergh and Chris Dobey battle it out in a mutual duel for their theoretical last chance, but even with a weekend title in Manchester, qualifying for the play-offs seems to be a difficult story for Van den Bergh and Dobey, as they are too far behind.

- Yep... that is correct... that XY male will be at home with the other men.MrYnyslas197123-10-2024
- True, Richie. Broke my heart when Mr Senna lost his life,,, the man cared about others too. Senna had an Austrian flag in his car and was going to do a lap of honour in memory of Roland Ratzenberger, who tragically lost his life on the same weekend, sadly, Senna never got the chance. Mr Senna would have surpassed Schumacher—no doubt.MrYnyslas197123-10-2024
- What a undignified way to bow out of the darts for the greatest darts player ever, absolutely the best. Nobody was as dedicated or committed or even half as good as Phil. He completely dominated darts, not only the greatest darts player ever but also one of the greatest sportsman ever. Ayrton Senna is my ultimate hero but Phil won 16 World Championships, Eric only won 5 and that won't be surpassed. Thank you Phil, not my most favourite player but certainly the greatest and loved watching you completely destroy every opponent, almost never missed a treble or any check out. Stoke definitely needs a statue of Phil Taylor !richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- I don't have a problem with someone being whoever they want to be, but ultimately there is a Ladies and Mens format for a reason. What is going to stop substandard men claiming that they are transgender and entering the ladies format for an opportunity to increase their profile, prize money, ranking etc etc. We know that the current crop of PDC players will suck up to van Leuven and will not speak out.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- The bottom line is Beau will be a triple World Champion soon. She is so many levels better than the rest of the ladies. Lorraine and Aileen have never really raised their game, I really expected the quality of the ladies game to have improved but excluding Beau, it seems to have detiorated. Beau is too modest and could easily mix with the men and beat most of them.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
