Nice and straightforward for Michael van Gerwen, albeit it does his best to make it tricky by missing darts at tops and double 10.

He finds double five, though, and pulls a leg back.

The crowd are suddenly rather quiet in Rotterdam.

He missed another dart at double but the pressure isn't on this time and he gets tops with his next in any case.

Michael van Gerwen is pumped up here and lets out a huge shout as he hits a 180.

What a quarter-final we have to finish!

It's home favourite and defending Premier League champion Michael van Gerwen up against world champion Luke Humphries.

Mighty Mike returned to form to win in Birmingham last week after falling at the first hurdle in five of the previous six weeks.

He is targeting a record fifth nightly win and he'll have a sell-out Dutch crowd cheering him on.

"It would be magic if I could win here in Rotterdam," he told the PDC.

"With the new [nightly] format I haven't done too well over here yet, so I hope I change that [tonight]."

Trying to spoil the party is Humphries, who has had a quiet few weeks since winning three nights on the bounce.

Cool Hand lost a last-leg decider to Luke Littler in the semi-finals last week and is now second, two points behind the teenager.

Victory tonight would see him return to the top of the tree.

Just one quarter-final to go - and it's a cracker!

Nathan Aspinall awaits the winner...

No 180s but Nathan Aspinall didn't need them.

He averaged 93.53 and bossed this one from the first leg.

Peter Wright hit 50% of his darts at double, his scoring just meant he didn't get many.

Nathan Aspinall wins it in style - a 110 checkout!

He's through to the semi-finals and back into the top four as well.

A night to forget for Peter Wright, who averaged just 77.48.

Pressure on the Nathan Aspinall throw for the first time but he holds his nerve.

With Peter Wright waiting and needing tops, Aspinall shrugs off a missed dart at the same double and hits double 10 to move to within one leg of victory.

Nathan Aspinall misses darts at double six then double three, allowing Peter Wright to return and hit tops.

The start of a miraculous comeback from Snakebite?

Nathan Aspinall takes out 56 in two darts.

He's looked slightly nervy but surely more because he feels he has to win with Peter Wright struggling as he is rather than fearing comeback from the Scot?
