<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHumphries fell to a fourth consecutive defeat to Littler in four weeks, losing the final in a last-leg decider to the 19-year-old for the second week running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nevertheless, the defending champion made crucial inroads in the race to The O2, moving up two spots to fourth after scooping another three points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The world number two took the scalps of Josh Rock and Stephen Bunting to move into the driving seat for Finals Night, capitalising on losses from Van Gerwen and Gian van Veen to leapfrog the Dutch pair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Humphries kicked off his return to Leeds with victory over Rock, taking out a 14-dart hold to edge past the Northern Irishman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 31-year-old then toppled Bunting in arguably the match of the evening, averaging 106.68 to defy Bunting\u2019s six 180s and average north of 105 to deny the former Masters champion a second nightly final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the other quarter-finals, Clayton picked up just his second win in 14 matches against fellow Welshman Gerwyn Price with a comprehensive 6-2 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bunting pipped Van Veen 6-5 to dent the Dutch number one\u2019s Play-Off hopes, as Bunting survived two match darts to reach his first semi-final since Night Ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next week, the darts returns to Birmingham as the Utilita Arena plays host to Night Fifteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clayton will hope to avenge his semi-final defeat as he takes on Littler, while Bunting will also bid to right his semi-final wrongs against Humphries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Veen will face a now-eliminated Rock, while Price takes on Van Gerwen in a crucial match for the Play-Offs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ranking points will be awarded per night – with five to the winner, three to the runner-up and two to the semi-finalists – to form the league table from which the top four players will progress to Finals Night at The O2 in London on Thursday May 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
