A steady but unspectacular start by both players, but it's Gerwyn Price who gets on the board first, breaking the throw with a shot at double 16.

Gerwyn Price has switched up his walk-on music a couple of times during this Premier League campaign, but it's the old faithful of "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice tonight.

Luke Humphries gives his friends and family a few hugs on his way to the stage.

Let's get this show on the road!

As Gerwyn Price and Luke Humphries prepare to make their way to the stage, a reminder that you can have your say on this night of Premier League action using any of the methods above.

Are you backing Nathan Aspinall to make it two night wins in a row? Will Michael van Gerwen extend his lead at the top of the table? Or will either of our two World Championship finalists from January - Humphries or Luke Littler - be a night's victor for the first time?

World champion Luke Humphries takes on Gerwyn Price in the opening game of night six.

Humphries missed a couple of match darts to win the UK Open on Sunday, eventually losing the final in a deciding leg to Dimitri van den Bergh. He said afterwards that he was "absolutely shattered" after a busy four days which also took in last Thursday's semi-final appearance in Exeter.

As for Price, he was the runner-up on night one in Cardiff but only has one further win to show for his efforts since then. Last week, he could do little to stop a rampaging Rob Cross, who won their quarter-final meeting 6-1.

Another reason why Price might fancy a win tonight - it's his birthday. The former rugby player turned world darts champion is 39 today.

Anybody, Peter Wright included, has time to really raise up but you have to win matches.

With the Premier League format, you've got to win your quarter-final. You get two points for that. Winning your semi doesn't change much, it only puts someone on three.

There are only two really important thresholds in any Premier League night - winning the first match and getting the night win. A night win is huge and winning your first match is huge.

Get that first match won on a regular basis and you'll be back up the table in no time.

If you're a newcomer to Premier League Darts, here's how it works...

It is an invitational event - in January, a field of eight players was selected to take part in the tournament, which began on 1 February and takes in 17 venues across Europe until a champion is crowned at the conclusion of the play-offs in May.

Every Thursday, the eight players compete in a knockout tournament, which is completed in one night. The winner receives five league points as well as a £10,000 bonus, while the runner-up gets three points and the two semi-finalists two points apiece.

After 16 nights, the top four players in the points table qualify for the play-offs, with two semi-finals and a final at London's O2 Arena to decide the champion.

On offer to the winner is a first prize of £275,000.

Nathan Aspinall's win in Exeter left the table looking like this...

One thing we can be sure of is that Michael van Gerwen will remain as the league leader, whatever happens in Brighton.

Only four points separate the players in second and seventh, so a well-timed night win will do the eventual victor the world of good.

Nathan Aspinall was the winner of night five in Exeter seven days ago.

"The Asp", from Stockport, beat three World Championship winners - Peter Wright, Luke Humphries and Rob Cross - to collect a maximum five points and move up to fourth in the table.

"Everyone knows I'm a fighter," said Aspinall, who lost his first three quarter-final matches. "I've been down for the first three weeks, but a final and a win in the past two weeks - I'm over the moon."

All of tonight's matches are the best of 11 legs, so the first to six will go through to the next round.

Here are the quarter-finals we'll be seeing over the next couple of hours:

• Luke Humphries v Gerwyn Price
• Rob Cross v Michael van Gerwen
• Nathan Aspinall v Luke Littler
• Michael Smith v Peter Wright

Having battled away at the UK Open in Minehead last weekend, eight of darts' finest have swapped Somerset for the south coast and are in Brighton for the latest instalment of the Premier League.

We're about a third of the way through the group stage of this year's competition and defending champion Michael van Gerwen has been the dominant player so far, winning three of the five nights to move six points clear at the top of the table.

Nathan Aspinall was the winner last time out in Exeter, but what does night six have in store?
