Nathan Aspinall Current Form – LLWWL
Nathan Aspinall started this tournament quite slowly, losing his first two matches. However, his response to that start has been incredible. Since then, he has reached two finals, which includes his most recent win over Luke Littler.
He now sits in third place on the Premier League darts table, albeit five points behind Littler in second and seven from Humphries out in first. Aspinall is level on points with van Gerwen, but edges him due to the number of matches won.

Ranked inside the world’s top ten players, Aspinall will be looking to solidify his name in history by ensuring he is able to get over the line and capture success here. Interestingly, Damon Heta (a fellow darts professional) recently included Aspinall in his 5-a-side dream team – but also commented that he needed to find confidence in his ability.
Michael van Gerwen Current Form – LWWWW
There isn’t too much you can say about Mighty Mike van Gerwen. He really has done it all! He has won this competition on seven occasions already and will be pumped to see himself to an eighth title.
This season, he has only lost one quarter-final, but he has been unable to get through many semi-finals, losing four. His loss last time out to Luke Littler seemed a little too routine and he will surely be wanting to make a statement here once again.
Michael van Gerwen News
Michael van Gerwen is without question a darts legend. However, in recent weeks there has been a lot of talk around whether or not the veteran player is able to keep up with a demanding schedule.
Another Dutch legend, Raymond van Barneveld, attributed his decline in form to this very reason.
