    Michael Smith v Gerwyn Price

    I'm not sure how big Gerry Cinnamon is in Germany but there's not a huge amount of singing from the Berlin crowd as Gerwyn Price walks to 'Belter'.

    Michael Smith follows soon after with 'Shut Up and Dance' by Walk the Moon blaring out.

    Next up, we've got a repeat of last week's final as Michael Smith takes on Gerwyn Price.

    Smith came out on top 6-2 in the final, denying Welshman Price victory in front of his home crowd in Cardiff.

    It was the second time in the night that Smith disappointed the locals, having been whistled throughout his victory over teen sensation Luke Littler in the semis.

    Result: Nathan Aspinall 4-6 Michael van Gerwen

    Nathan Aspinall will go into week three without a win to his name in this year's Premier League. He's got some catching up to do already.

    Thankfully for him, there is plenty of time to do just that. He'll be facing world champion Luke Humphries in Glasgow next weekend.

    Meanwhile, Michael van Gerwen is safely through to the semi-finals. He can sit back before he takes on the winner of the next quarter-final in the last four...

    Result: Nathan Aspinall 4-6 Michael van Gerwen

    Michael van Gerwen is up and running in the Premier League this year!

    He was up against it at 4-1 but showed his resolve to win the next five on the spin for his first win in this year's tournament.

    Huge frustration for Nathan Aspinall. He'll feel that is a big missed opportunity having started so well. That frustration was written all over his face for the last few legs.

  14. MVG one leg away...published at 19:41 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    Nathan Aspinall 4-5 Michael van Gerwen

    Four treble-less visits to start the leg from Nathan Aspinall means Michael van Gerwen has a fantastic chance to break again.

    The Dutchman hits double 12 and from 4-1 down, he's 5-4 up and has the darts with just one leg needed for victory.

    No reaction because he knows he has still got a lot of work to do

    The first mistake from Nathan, and Van Gerwen is back in the match.

    This is a real test of Nathan now, he's just got to tell himself that he's still got the darts and he only needs two more legs.

  17. Van Gerwen breaks backpublished at 19:37 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    Nathan Aspinall 4-3 Michael van Gerwen

    After starting the leg with a 180, Nathan Aspinall struggles to find the trebles.

    He is left with a 120 checkout with Michael van Gerwen on his tail. His dart at tops slips into the five and when he misses two darts at double 16 on his next visit, the Dutchman has his chance.

    MVG hits his double at the second attempt and we're back with the throw.

    A big hold for Aspinall.
