Luke Humphries to beat Josh Rock @ 4/9

Humphries has put himself right back in the mix for a spot in the top four after a run to the final in Aberdeen last week. He was evidently kicking himself having spurred a 5-3 lead in the final against Littler, but the bigger picture looks a lot brighter for him now. The world number two sits just two points behind Van Gerwen now, with the upcoming fixture list definitely favouring Humphries more so as he aims to prolong his title defence to Finals Night.

He’ll be confident of making further inroads as he faces Rock in his opening match in Leeds - Cool Hand has won all of his last four meetings against Josh and has a lot more to play for here as Rocky’s hopes of reaching the top four are all but gone already.

Humphries has adopted Leeds as his Premier League home-night and it’s fair to say that he’s produced the goods so far - Luke has won the nightly title in Leeds in both previous years he’s been in the Premier League. He’d love to make it hat-trick and this should be a fairly routine victory on route to trying to do just that.

Stephen Bunting to hit over 2.5 180s vs Gian Van Veen @ 5/6

Humphries isn’t the only one who kept his top four hopes alive last week - Van Veen too has kept the heat on Van Gerwen as he notched up another quarter-final win, beating table topper Clayton 6-3.

He fell short against Humphries in the semis but performance wise there was a lot more for the Dutchman to be encouraged about, with averages of 104 and 103. He’ll be eyeing this fixture up as a chance to completely make up the ground on MVG and perhaps set up a crucial semi-final against Humphries again.

Bunting’s hopes of a top four are diminishing by the week, with him failing to pick up points in any of the last three Premier League nights. However, the maximums are most certainly not drying up - The Bullet has hit three or more 180s in 12 of his last 17 matches, so 5/6 for him to do so again looks a bit of a steal and the best value in this one.
