This is how things stand after night 12.

Luke Humphries has closed the gap on Luke Littler at the top, Gerwyn Price is up to third and it's looking tight in that play-off battle.

More from Gerwyn Price talking to Sky Sports: "I'm not going to speak about last week in Rotterdam but the conditions were good tonight, it was a fair game and I played some good darts. Sometimes I do throw my toys out of the pram when things don't go my way but I had a reason last week. We don't deserve to play in those conditions. We play in Rotterdam every year but surely they can find a venue where it is fair for everyone. People say 'it is the same for every player' but it definitely isn't. Some people throw heavier darts, have longer stems, thicker flights - it's not the same for everyone.

"I just want to make the top four - it doesn't matter if it is one, two, three or four - being at the O2 is my priority. Today was just about getting two points, I managed to get five so it eases a little bit of pressure next week. I am playing really well though so there is no reason I can't win next week as well.

"Every week is vital points. It was vital I got some points tonight. It eases the pressure for next week and when there's no pressure on me I play some good darts."

Gerwyn Price talking to Sky Sports: "I was under pressure to win my first game and get some vital points on the board. I thought I played well in that first game but that allowed me to settle down and enjoyed myself a little bit. I thought I was unlucky to be behind against Luke Humphries, I thought I was playing better than him but it was a cracking game.

"I knew I was throwing well so I just said 'keep playing as I am and I know the chances will come'. Don't get me wrong, the crowd were behind me a little bit today and put Luke off but I've had that against me plenty of times. I'm happy with that."

The best player has definitely won tonight.

He's bounced back brilliantly from being bitterly disappointed last week in Rotterdam.

He's looking pretty good for the play-offs.

Impressive stats for both players but it's Gerwyn Price who had the edge - and that showed in the final outcome.

The Ice Man averaged in 104.43 to Luke Humphries' 102.64 and came out on top on the 180s as well, three to two.

Neither player was as clinical as they'd like on the doubles - despite each hitting 150-plus checkouts - but Price again topped it, 35.3% to 30.8%.

Gerwyn Price is the boss tonight in Liverpool!

It is a nightly average of around 104 - it was brilliant from start to finish.

Gerwyn Price has his third nightly win of 2025!

Tops does it, he celebrates, the crowd celebrate and the Welshman has given his play-off hopes an almighty boost.

Both players averaged over 100 but Price just outdid world number one Luke Humphries.

The job isn't done yet for Gerwyn Price.

He miscalculates to leave 168 - no finish - so Luke Humphries has a bit more time.

Double four brings him back to within one.

Price has the darts, though...

The crowd are singing Gerwyn Price's name - that doesn't happen too much but the Ice Man is loving it.

A big celebration after hitting double 12 to move to within a leg of victory.

Price has been excellent all night.

Oh dear, Luke Humphries.

Three missed darts at double 16 and Gerwyn Price shows him how it's done.

A 13-dart break to put the Welshman in control.

After all those misses in the last leg, Gerwyn Price takes out 151 this time!

Treble 20, treble 17, tops. Phenomenal.

He needed it as well with Luke Hupmhries waiting on 87.

That is the worst leg of the match but it could be the most important.

Goodness me, nobody wants to win this leg!

First Gerwyn Price and then Luke Humphries miss numerous darts at double.

Eventually, Hupmhries hits double 10 to edge back in front.

Gerwyn Price misses six darts at double before finally hitting double five.

It is a good job he was so far ahead of Luke Humphries in that leg.

Cool Hand did get one dart for the leg in the end but he missed tops and Price was able to mop up.

These are brilliant checkouts from Luke Humphries.

You could argue these two players didn't give 100% last week but they definitely are this week.

This is some standard to start the final.

Sensational from Luke Humphries again!

Just brilliant, another 12-darter and this one is finished off with a 155 out.

Treble 20, treble 19, double 19. World class.

Sensational from Luke Humphries!

He goes double-double on the 19s to get the immediate break back with a 94 out.

A 12-darter.

Perfect start for Gerwyn Price as he breaks in the opening leg.

Double 10 to complete a 14-darter.

Can Luke Humphries respond?

Both players are looking for a third nightly win of the season.

Game on!

Right then, for the last time tonight.

It's walk-on time.

Get ready for a bit of Vanilla Ice followed by Kaiser Chiefs.
