    Gerwyn Price knows he needs to start well against Luke Littler.

    The teenager is good as a front-runner and can be explosive if he gets ahead.

    It's pantomime stuff in Glasgow with a mixture of boos and cheers as Luke Littler is announced.

    That all disappears as his walk-on song, Greenlight by Pitbull ft.Flo Rida and LunchMoney Lewis, starts playing and everyone sings along.

    It's similar for Gerwyn Price. Loud boos then Don't Stop Believin' by Journey - another change of walk-on song for the Iceman - begins and the fans can't resist singing along.

    Who can blame them?

    Luke Littler talking to Sky Sports: "I've been playing well in the past few days and it's got me up for the Premier League. I don't normally practice until the Thursday but I'm confident coming into tonight.

    "I've played proper darts Monday to Wednesday and I've enjoyed it. I'm ready for tonight.

    "When you're playing that well you're feeling that everything will go your way but you can't win them all."

    The final quarter-final of the night sees the beaten finalists in the first two weeks go head-to-head as Gerwyn Price plays Luke Littler.

    Price reached the final on the opening night in Cardiff but the Welshman was bested by Michael Smith, much to the home crowd's disappointment.

    He fell at the last eight stage in Berlin, losing to Smith again, 6-5.

    Meanwhile, teen sensation Littler missed two darts for the match in last Thursday's final in Germany before falling to a 6-5 defeat by Michael van Gerwen.

    A beaten semi-finalist in week one, runner-up in week two. Will it be victory for Littler tonight?
