The game is so much easier when you're relaxed. It's easier said than done, you're trying to tell yourself that you're going to be relaxed and you're not going to be nervous.

The greats can manage it and deal with those situations.

Nathan Aspinall, speaking to Sky Sports to reflect on winning the European Darts Trophy final in Germany on Sunday:

"It's been a long time, it's taken me 10 years to finally win one of those Euro Tour events, and the manner that I did it as well. It was a professional night of darts for me.

"I took lots of confidence from that, it's changed my whole year. Hopefully I can start relaxing and stop putting so much pressure on myself."

Michael van Gerwen, speaking to Sky Sports before facing Nathan Aspinall:

"I think I've played quite well lately, of course there's more in the tank but you always need to know that you're on the way upwards and I think I'm doing OK. I just need to make sure I keep playing well."

To conclude the quarter-finals in Newcastle, Michael van Gerwen will take on Nathan Aspinall.

Van Gerwen reached his first final of the season a week ago in Cardiff, where he lost to Luke Littler in the final.

Meanwhile, Nathan Aspinall comes into this match off the back of winning his first European Tour title at the weekend in Germany.

The two have met twice in the Premier League this season, picking up one win each.

Chris Dobey will be disappointed with that. He played OK in patches but generally he was outplayed by the world number one.

Luke Humphries goes through to the semi-final.

Comfortably the lowest standard of the night so far when it comes to the match averages.

Dobey was slightly ahead in the averages on 93.6 and he hit two maximums.

Humphries landed six of his 15 attempts at doubles. Meanwhile, Dobey pinned three of his nine chances.

Luke Humphries gets six darts at 164 for the match.

The first dart finds treble 20, so does the second as he plays safe with a 132.

Humphries is back for double 16, which he takes in one. A 13-darter wins the match.

He's had his opportunities, Chris Dobey. That'll be his big regret if he doesn't go on to win.
