As the top eight seeds come into action on Saturday evening at the 2023 Masters, the top four are in action in a bumper line-up in Milton Keynes in order to reach the Quarter-Finals.
World Number One, Michael Smith will be in the game of the session against one of the biggest power scorers in darts right now in Ross Smith who said after defeating Damon Heta that he would feel hard done by if he didn't seal a spot in the Premier League.

So he will be out to make a statement against his namesake who was on a winning streak up until the last tournament at the Nordic Darts Masters after winning the World Championship and Bahrain Darts Masters.
Michael van Gerwen will also be out to make a statement but of a different kind when he takes on Jose de Sousa this evening. The Dutchman got annoyed during Gibraltar last year at 'The Special One' going for his trademark double double finishes and didn't hold back in the post match interview.
Not under any jet lag anymore, he will be in Milton Keynes to make a statement that despite defeat to Smith at Ally Pally that he is still the man to beat.
As will Gerwyn Price in a repeat of the World Series Final against Dirk van Duijvenbode to start the session. Back to back finals on the World Series for 'The Iceman' since his ear defenders incident, he will aim to make it third times the charm in finals and seal the first major of the new season.
While Peter Wright will look to continue his form from last week when he faces Dave Chisnall who produced a great escape against Ryan Searle and reached the final last year.
Evening session (from 19:00)
Second round
Gerwyn Price v Dirk van Duijvenbode
Peter Wright v Dave Chisnall
