Michael van Gerwen and Rob Cross are aiming to secure their Unibet Premier League Play-Off places as the tournament visits The Manchester Arena for a crucial Night 14 on Thursday.

Reigning Premier League champion Van Gerwen sits at the head of the table with three league nights remaining ahead of the Play-Offs on May 23.

The Dutchman is a point clear of Cross but, most importantly, four ahead of the trio of players from third to fifth, with James Wade, Gerwyn Price and Mensur Suljovic all vying to claim a top-four finish.

Van Gerwen takes on Daryl Gurney as he looks to mathematically confirm his place at The O2 in three weeks’ time, and the World Champion is in confident mood following Sunday’s German Darts Open success.

Play-Off chasing Gurney claimed a 7-5 victory over Van Gerwen when the pair met in Berlin earlier this season, and could put himself into a Play-Off place by repeating that success.

Cross, meanwhile, plays seventh-placed Michael Smith and knows that he can reach the semi-finals for a second successive season with victory in Manchester.

Smith, like Peter Wright, has to win his remaining last three matches and hope for other results to go his way if he is to snatch a top-four place.

A huge battle in Manchester will see James Wade play Gerwyn Price, with the players sat in third and fourth position in the table heading into the final three league nights.

Mensur Suljovic, the third player locked on 15 points, takes on Wright in a game which could prove pivotal for his own Play-Off hopes.
