Michael van Gerwen v Gerwyn Price (19:45 BST)
He's something of a pantomime villain is Gerwyn.
The Welshman makes his way onto the stage to a chorus of boos.
It won't phase him though.

16 games, 16 defeats.
But the Welshman has been in superb form over the past 12 months. Can he finally get one over of the great Dutchman?
