Premier League Darts Week 13: Crunch clashes galore

Coral preview Week 13 of the Premier League Darts, that takes place in Birmingham’s Barclaycard Arena, with a number of crunch clashes on offer.

With just three rounds of fixtures to go, the highlight of the night here is Michael van Gerwen’s fight with Phil Taylor, while Raymond van Barneveld is against Gary Anderson.

Barney faces two battles in Birmingham, along with Adrian Lewis, with the duo going head-to-head in the final match. Jackpot also starts the evening off against Dave Chisnall, before a duel between basement duo James Wade and Stephen Bunting.

Dave Chisnall v Adrian Lewis
Jackpot is one of the in-form players in the league of late, having won three of his last four (losing none). He next goes up against second-placed Chisnall, who has lost his last two, needing a victory to put him in with a great chance to reach the play-offs.

Chizzy smashed Lewis last time out 7-2, and is a great 6/4 chance to beat him again, but a draw at 10/3 is the most likely outcome. Jackpot, who is one point behind the top four, is the 5/4 favourite.

Raymond van Barneveld v Gary Anderson
Barney is another in great form, winning his last three, and just one point off the top four. He claimed a crucial draw against Anderson in Week 9 (Elimination Night), and has a great chance to topple the Scot this time, as he has just one victory in his last five.

Defending champion Van Barneveld is a tempting 2/1 chance to beat The Flying Scotsman (10/11), but again a share of the spoils (7/2) once more looks likely.

James Wade v Stephen Bunting
In the battle of the basement duo, Bunting is certainly looking good coming into this clash, after thrashing Anderson 7-1 last time out, so is a tempting 6/4 shout for victory.
