On his throw, Price is unable to take out a 128 but he leaves himself 40.

Wright's golden chance to break is by taking out 121, but it is a trebleless visit.

Price finds tops with one dart to make it 5-4.

Wow. Sensational from Wright.

He holds throw in the eighth leg with two maximums.

Wright gets the job done, going 15 and tops to take out 55.

Match of the night so far!

The performances of both men so far this evening can only be compared to Nathan Aspinall off this evening's quarter-finals.

Price had looked good, but then Wright takes out 111 with a treble 20, 19, then double 16 to make it 4-3 and break throw.

You would not think these two were second bottom and bottom off this display!

This has been practically flawless finishing from The Iceman.

Gerwyn Price scores excellently with a 177 to leave himself darts at double 10, providing Peter Wright can't checkout 144.

Wright fails to do so and gives Price the opportunity to break throw for the first time in this match.

He only needs one dart to do so. 4-2 Price.

Leg five is also taken on its throw by Gerwyn Price.

The Iceman has been really clinical on his doubles so far tonight and takes out 60 with a 20 and double 20.

Price leads 3-2 but the standard from both is excellent.

Both players are finishing brilliantly and averaging over 100. We've got a game on our hands here.

What Gerwyn Price can do, Peter Wright is matching.

Peter Wright has started to look better in recent weeks and levels up by taking out tops, making it 2-2.

Both men are averaging scores well into three figures so far.

Gerwyn Price has looked the better of the two in these first three legs so far.

Back on his throw, Price goes back in front, taking out a one-dart tops for a 13-dart leg.

That comes just a dart after Wright had found a maximum.

Peter Wright's first leg with the darts in hand was not one he will look back on fondly, including a visit where he scored just seven earlier in the leg.

All that matters is how it ends and he takes out 58 with a 18 then tops to level it up at 1-1.

Let's not forget that Gerwyn Price was the star attraction in last year's Premier League. His doubles have just let him down this year, but he's not been far away.

Gerwyn Price is starting as he means to go on in Manchester.

He takes out 115 with a treble 19, 18, then lands the final dart in tops.

How does he celebrate? You guessed it, his signature roar!

The final quarter-final sees the bottom two face each other in Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright.

With two of the top four ending tonight without picking up points, there is a chance for one of these men to gain momentum with a good night tonight.

Price to throw first, game on!

Peter Wright speaking to Sky Sports: "If I can still pick up a few points, upsetting them all, then I suppose it is possible I can still make the play-offs.

"With the quality of the players here I will have to be at the top of the game, but Luke Humphries and Luke Littler are up there at the moment. If I can just pick up points here and there I'll be happy.

"I just want to enjoy it. Try and hit a nine-darter for the crowds and get a couple of ton-plus averages."

Gerwyn Price faces Peter Wright in the last of tonight's four quarter-finals in Manchester.

Both men are struggling at the wrong end of the table, with Price seventh and Wright a spot below in eighth and bottom of the rankings.

Despite averaging almost 100, Price lost his quarter-final a week ago to Nathan Aspinall, while Wright was also beaten by Aspinall in the semi-finals in Belfast.

The two have only met once in this year's Premier League on night seven in Nottingham. Despite a significantly lower average, Wright won the quarter-final clash 6-5 between the two three weeks ago.

Like Michael van Gerwen did earlier this season, Luke Humphries has now followed up a run of night wins with a growing run of quarter-final exits.

Smith averaged just over 100 in that match and Humphries was not too far off it, but Smith never really had an off leg throughout that match.

Smith even only checked out six of his 19 double attempts.

That however was the problem for Humphries, he only had five double attempts in the entire match.

A 117 checkout wins the match for Michael Smith!

Michael Smith really kept the best in the world very quiet and finished off the match superbly with a 100+ checkout!

He goes 20, treble 19 and tops to get the job done and book his place into the last four.

Smith had two match darts to checkout 96 after a perfect treble 20.

He missed double 18 and double nine to give Humphries the chance.

Cool Hand takes that chance. He takes out 52 with 20 and a double 16.

5-3.

There's one leg for Humphries, but he has to win four more on the bounce from here on in.

Smith was left with a 156 to win the game, which he couldn't take out.

Humphries only need 24 in response, taking out double 12 at the first time of asking.

You've got to give Michael Smith credit, it hasn't been about Luke Humphries. This has been a good performance from Smith.
