Jonny Clayton is the in-form player in the Premier League at the moment.

Stephen Bunting looked confident up there tonight though, so it is a coin toss for who goes through for me.

Here come Jonny Clayton and Stephen Bunting!

Jonny Clayton extended his lead at the top of the table by seeing off Luke Littler 6-3.

Stephen Bunting looked like his old self as he earned his first points of the season with an impressive 6-4 win over Luke Humphries.

This could be pretty tasty.

Jonny Clayton 6-3 Luke Littler

Stephen Bunting 6-4 Luke Humphries

Michael van Gerwen 5-6 Gerwyn Price

Gian van Veen 6-2 Josh Rock

Jonny Clayton v Stephen Bunting

Gerwyn Price v Gian van Veen

And breathe.

Josh Rock may remain bottom of the table with zero points, but that nine-darter is a moment he is never, ever going to forget.

Amazing scenes.

But it's Gian van Veen who will face Gerwyn Price in the semi-finals.

Gian van Veen hits 180, but Rock responds with his own!

Rock is left with 121, but he can't checkout.

GvV then fails on D10, and Rock misses too!

Finally, on his fourth match dart, Van Veen finds D10.

Someone explain to me how that has just happened?

He was looking all over the place and like a broken man.

Take nothing for granted in darts. How amazing!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!

It's the stuff of dreams, a nine-darter in front of his home fans!

Josh Rock is on the verge of tears, Gian van Veen can only stand and applaud.

The crowd erupts, it's total carnage down there.

Josh Rock's confidence is absolutely shot in my opinion.

I kind of feel for him at the moment. He will feel absolutely desperate knowing that he isn't able to play his best stuff.

Gian van Veen requires 124, then 32.

He fluffs D16, but D8 is a piece of cake.

Gian van Veen has done something important and that is keep the Josh Rock fans quiet. Very quiet!

134 leaves Van Veen with 113, and he nails it! That's another big finish from the Dutchman.

Josh Rock made an equipment change, but it didn't make a jot of difference.

I've always said that if you don't settle in the Premier League then you're in trouble and Josh Rock looks like an unsettled man.

You can group them and you can spread them and you really don't know when it is going to happen.

Gian van Veen is left with 167, and of course he nails bull to take a 3-1 lead!

It is not to say that Josh Rock won't come again but at the moment it feels like he peaked in the summer of 2025 with the World Cup win and a run to the semi-finals of the World Matchplay.

109 left for Gian van Veen and he takes it on D16.

Josh Rock gets down to 61 to leave tops, and he gets it on the third attempt. Big hold.
