Following three weeks of top-class darting drama, the BetMGM Premier League heads to Newcastle for Week 4 tonight.
Premier League Darts Week 4
Seven-time winner of the tournament, Michael van Gerwen, moved to the summit of the Premier League Darts standings in Glasgow last week after securing a second successive weekly win, edging out Luke Humphries 6-5 in the final.
The Dutch destroyer currently leads the table on 10 points, while Michael Smith, Luke Littler and Luke Humphries make up the remainder of the all-important top-four.
Despite his dominance in recent weeks, MVG is not the bookmakers’ favourite to make it a hat-trick of nightly wins in Newcastle.
Premier League Darts Night 4 Predictions
Nathan Aspinall has fallen at the first hurdle in each of the opening three nights and he could suffer a similar fate against Michael Smith.
Luke Humphries rediscovered some form en-route to the Week 3 final and he can continue his climb up the table by defeating Rob Cross.
Peter Wright needs some points on the board but he may have to wait another week unless he can spring a surprise against Luke Littler.
Michael van Gerwen goes into his match with Gerwyn Price as 8/11 favourite on bet365 but this showdown should be closer than the odds suggest.
Who is the Week 4 Premier League Darts favourite?
Following back-to-back wins in Berlin and Glasgow, it will come as a surprise to some that Michael van Gerwen is not the favourite to win Week 4.
Instead, Luke Littler (best price 3/1) heads the betting in Newcastle. If the favourites all come through their respective matches, the Nuke would have to beat both van Gerwen and world champion Luke Humphries to bank the five-point bounty.

Premier League Darts Week 4 Tips
Luke Littler to beat Peter Wright & Luke Humphries to beat Rob Cross @ 9/10 William Hill
Luke Littler cut a frustrated figure after losing to Gerwyn Price last Thursday but this week’s opener with Peter Wright looks like a good opportunity to get back on track.
Whilst Snakebite is showing steady signs of improvement, the Nuke’s explosive scoring ability and knack for hitting 180s should prove too strong for the Scotsman.
We can double that selection up to 9/10 on William Hill by backing Luke Humphries to overcome Rob Cross. Cool Hand produced his best nightly performance of the Premier League season so far in Glasgow and he can claim another victory against Voltage in Newcastle.
