It is the penultimate night of regular Premier League Darts action as proceedings return to the O2 Arena in London which for years hosted the play-offs.
Next week instead was meant to be the play-offs in Newcastle with Berlin moved due to restrictions being imposed on the initial date but instead of crowning a champion, the London date this time will look to head towards confirming the play-offs.
Two spots are confirmed already with Michael van Gerwen and league leader Jonny Clayton all set for Berlin on June 13. They will now look to act as spoiler in the case of Clayton against his World Cup teammate, Gerwyn Price who has been bullish during this week saying if he gets in the top four, he believes he wins the whole thing.
Only two points away from an out of form Peter Wright, it is likely the most important week for both players so far with Newcastle set to conclude the regular season next week.
While for Van Gerwen, it is Michael Smith who is adrift but not fully out of it on 14 points and could still catch Wright albeit it is unlikely.
If Price can't produce, Joe Cullen may as he faces Gary Anderson who is bottom of the pile last up and with 'The Rockstar' on 17 points, he could overtake Price and head towards the top four himself.
While James Wade on his return won't have too many eyes on the situation after returning from illness with his main concern being getting back to full health. But he faces Peter Wright and could seal third spot tonight and his place in Berlin and denting 'Snakebite's hopes in the process.
