Gerwyn Price will begin his bid for back-to-back nightly wins against his World Cup partner Jonny Clayton later today, as the Premier League rolls into Glasgow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Night Three of the darting roadshow will take place at the OVO Hydro, as league leader Michael van Gerwen and World Champion Luke Littler also go head-to-head on Scottish soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Gerwen boasts a three-point lead at the Premier League summit after featuring in successive nightly finals, although he was beaten 6-3 by an imperious Price in Antwerp last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Welshman averaged north of 104 to claim the Night Two spoils, having also defeated Gian van Veen and Clayton to triumph on a landmark night in Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This week I’ll be even more relaxed and hopefully I can play even better,”\u00a0insisted Price, who has won each of his last ten meetings against Clayton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“In patches I’m probably playing the best I’ve ever played, but so is everybody else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I think the fact the two Lukes are playing so well has probably kicked us up the backside a bit. I am practising more than ever now, and it’s paying off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I’m sure Michael [van Gerwen] and everybody else are doing the same, and it’s good for the sport because everyone is on their toes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The winner of Thursday’s all-Welsh affair will face Night One winner Van Gerwen or world number one Littler in the semi-finals, as the Dutchman aims to cement top spot in the embryonic table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Gerwen ran out a 6-4 winner when the pair locked horns in the Night Two semi-finals, before his five-match winning run in the Premier League was halted by Price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Littler, meanwhile, registered his first victory of the season with a deciding-leg win over Luke Humphries, averaging 105 to overturn a 5-4 deficit against the reigning Premier League champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Humphries responded by claiming his first ranking title of 2026 at Players Championship Four on Tuesday, registering six consecutive ton-plus averages in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The world number two will be hoping to maintain that sparkling form when he faces Josh Rock, who is yet to open his account following 6-2 defeats against Clayton and Van Gerwen respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I’m feeling really good about my game,”\u00a0declared Humphries, who currently occupies sixth spot in the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Last week was a setback missing those doubles to beat Luke, but the new equipment is still going well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It was a really nice feeling to win in Wigan. It gives me a lot of confidence because it’s the first tournament I’ve won in a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“There’s going to be a lot of graft this year, but if I keep playing like this then the rewards will come.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The evening’s other quarter-final tie will see former Masters champion Stephen Bunting play Night One runner-up Gian van Veen, with Humphries or Rock awaiting the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bunting is also searching for his first points of the new season, having surrendered a 4-0 lead against an inspired Clayton on Night Two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Veen was left to rue a missed match dart against Price in their quarter-final clash in Antwerp, but the Dutch number one occupies fourth spot, a point above Littler and Humphries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 2026 Premier League sees eight of the sport’s biggest names contesting 16 mini-events during the season, with each league night comprising quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final over the best of 11 legs.<\/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
