John Part
Former PDC world champion on Sky SportsIt's difficult to be 4-1 down and come back, but Michael Smith will think he has the game to roll out the 11-dart and 12-dart legs.

Michael van Gerwen v Michael Smith
It's semi-final time and here comes Michael Smith. The crowd in Berlin - presumably a little more refreshed than earlier - are far more vocal in belting out his walk-on song 'Shut Up and Dance' than they were before the quarter-final match.
Once again though, Michael van Gerwen and Seven Nation Army win the walk-on battle in terms of decibel level.

Mark Webster
Former BDO world champion on Sky SportsIt was a good performance from Luke Humphries. I think we're forgetting it's his debut year in the Premier League because of all that he's won.
Just to get those points on the board, he's up and running and he's got another match with Luke Littler coming up.

Result: Luke Humphries 6-4 Peter Wright
It tells you everything about just how good Luke Humphries is that he seemed to be struggling at various points in that match and still ends it with an average of 103.63.
He hit four 180s as well but Peter Wright looked much more like his old self, averaging 94.19.
We have another World Championship final repeat in the semi-final, though. Wright remains without a point so far in the Premier League.
Humphries seals it in brilliant leg!published at 21:17 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February
Result: Luke Humphries 6-4 Peter Wright
Stunning from Luke Humphries and Peter Wright!
Humphries hits a 180, Wright answers straight back and Cool Hand then goes treble 20, bull, treble 13 to leave 32.
Wright isn't giving up, though, and finds a maximum again.
But Humphries won't be denied. A pair of double eights get the job done. He's into the semi-final to play Luke Littler... again!

It was a nervy leg all round, though.
Peter Wright has to hold to force a decider.

Luke Humphries 4-4 Peter Wright
After Luke Humphries misses a dart at double 16 to break, Peter Wright finds tops yet again to make it 4-4.
Could the Scot snatch this one away from the world champion?
