    Luke Humphries v Gerwyn Price

    We're ready for the second semi-final and based on how well these to played earlier, it could be an absolute cracker!

    World champion Luke Humphries is in his debut season in the Premier League and still looking for his first night win. Will tonight be the night?

    Gerwyn Price was equally impressive in knocking out Luke Littler and the Welshman can go top of the table if he triumphs tonight.

    This match is a slow burner.

    It will get better and while neither player has been anywhere near their best, they'll appreciate that no damage has been done.

    Two holds of throw.
