For me, Jonny's finishing has been on point. He can finish in three darts from any position. He's taking his chances.

Other players in the field are creating chances and not taking them, but Jonny is and that's why he's top of the table.

Jonny Clayton says having won back-to-back nights puts a smile on his face going into tonight's event in Liverpool.

He first faces seventh-placed Stephen Bunting, who will have the advantage of a home crowd.

"We're all out to win nights and get points, so two nightly wins on the trot is great - it puts a smile on my face," said Clayton.

"I don't give up. I've been behind a few times and still came through and won.

"Twenty-nine points is a good score to be on. Hopefully it's enough for the play-offs and I'm there.

"I've got five weeks left and hopefully I can win five of them!"
