Van Gerwen confident heading into Exeter Premier League after first nightly win: "I'm top of the table without even playing my A-game"

Michael van Gerwen will have darting deja vu when he faces off against Gerwyn Price in tonight's Premier League Darts in Exeter.

They faced off in last week's final in Dublin and for Van Gerwen, he takes confidence from that and being top of the table despite not being at his best with his opponents in his eyes knowing exactly what he is capable of if he does turn up.

“I averaged 110 against Gezzy in Cardiff and lost that game, so he knows I owed him one,” quipped Van Gerwen.

“I’m top of the table without even playing my A-game, and that gives me a lot of confidence. [My rivals] know what I am capable of, and you need to believe in your ability."

“I know there is a lot of work to do and I need to keep performing,” added the Dutchman.

“I think from here, there’s a lot more to come. There’s a lot to fight for in the next 12 or 13 weeks, and I’m feeling good.”
