It’s next stop Manchester on the Premier League’s European tour and if Night 10 at the AO Arena is half as intriguing as Night 9 was in Berlin then it’s going to be fun.
For just the second time in nine weeks we had a final without either Luke Littler or Luke Humphries, we had a competition without Michael van Gerwen altogether who was injured and we had Stephen Bunting taking the five points for the nightly win – his first points of the campaign.
We have three tips for Night 10 of the Premier League (7.00pm). Scroll down for the analysis behind those selections.

Cross to look on the bright side in Manchester
Bunting became just the fourth different winner on the 2025 Premier League calendar last week – take Rob Cross to become the fifth in Manchester.
Cross, one point outside the play-off places, has yet to reach a final in this year’s competition but he has been consistent, suffering only three quarter-final exits. That’s the same as Lukes Littler and Humphries.
And Voltage is throwing well. He has won twice this year already – once on the floor in a Players Championship heat in Wigan, once in the World Series in the Netherlands – and his averages in this tournament are impressive, as well. Only Littler and Humphries boast a higher tournament average than the English former world champ.
Critically in Manchester he is in the opposite half of the draw to Littler, Humphries and Gerwyn Price, the top three in the table, so has to see this as a real opportunity.
Cross won’t be the fans’ favourite against Nathan Aspinall, whose Mr Brightside walk-on has become a highlight of any Premier League evening.
But if Voltage can take care of The Asp – bucking a recent poor record against the newly-crowned European Darts Master – then it’s either an out-of-form Chris Dobey or struggling Van Gerwen in the semis.

Humphries not so cool ahead of Bunting rematch
Bunting crushed Humphries 6-2 in Berlin a week ago on his way to landing the nightly honours, and it was a mismatch.
With the weight of the world off his shoulders, The Bullet looked relaxed and he can take that form into their rematch in the fourth quarter-final in Manchester.
Bunting has been desperately unlucky in this year’s Premier League having been a warm order going into the tournament and last week proved what a class act he is.
Humphries, in contrast, has had a sorry week, with his defeat in Berlin – where he averaged 87 against Bunting – preceding a spat with fans on social media over his workload.
If he’s not in a good place mentally Cool Hand becomes vulnerable and a resurgent Bunting can put him in his place.

Price is right to disarm The Nuke
Littler’s shock first-hurdle fall at the hands of Chris Dobey in Berlin preceded another first-round flop in the Players Championship on Tuesday, that time at the hands of Dylan Slevin.
Let’s make one thing clear – there is no crisis in the Nuke’s camp.
Littler is entitled to lose as much as anyone else – he just tends not to – but he is still worth taking on in Manchester with Price the value play at 5/2.
Price beat Littler in their one and only Premier League meeting back in Night 3 and is back to close to his very best.
Littler will have the crowd on his side, but the beaten finalist in Berlin a week ago is going to relish the challenge and looks way overpriced.
