Week 6 of the Premier League Darts heads to the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham tonight, promising a thrilling night of action as the table starts to take shape. Luke Littler comes off a big UK Open win and last week’s Premier League victory over Jonny Clayton, and faces Gerwyn Price in a high-stakes quarter-final clash. Top-of-the-table Clayton meets Michael van Gerwen, while Luke Humphries takes on Gian van Veen in a tight contest, and Josh Rock, still searching for his first Premier League points, plays Stephen Bunting in a crucial bottom-of-the-table battle. With five points on offer for the winner and £10,000 prize money, every match is pivotal as players jostle for playoff positions in what is shaping up to be a jam-packed and competitive evening.

Premier League Darts Night 6 Accumulator @ 5/2 (VirginBet)
Josh Rock vs Stephen Bunting
Leg 1: Josh Rock vs Stephen Bunting - Stephen Bunting + 2.5 Handicap @ 4/11 (10Bet)
I was surprised to see Josh Rock priced up as the odds-on favourite at a best price of 4/5 with Bet365 to beat Stephen Bunting on Thursday night. The Northern Irishman has endured a baptism of fire on his Premier League debut, coming away empty-handed from each of his five matches and currently sitting at the bottom of the table.
Bunting has also struggled, with four fruitless efforts so far, though he did bank the five point bounty in Belfast just a fortnight ago. However, the Bullet will probably consider himself a touch unfortunate not to have more points on the board, so he looks worth siding with a +2.5 start on the handicap against rock-bottom Rock.
Luke Humphries vs Gian van Veen
Leg 2: Luke Humphries vs Gian van Veen - Over 8.5 Legs @ 7/20 (VirginBet)
Luke Humphries may start this clash with Gian van Veen as the clear odds-on favourite, but the market could be underestimating the Dutchman’s chances here. Cool Hand is still searching for top gear in this year’s Premier League, and his recent record against van Veen suggests this won’t be straightforward.
The Giant edged their Night 3 meeting in Glasgow 6-5 and followed that up with another win over Humphries just days later at the Poland Darts Open by claiming a 7-5 victory.
With those results in mind, it would be no surprise to see another close contest between the pair in Nottingham, with over 8.5 legs looking like a solid play.
Luke Littler vs Gerwyn Price
Leg 3: Luke Littler vs Gerwyn Price - Over 8.5 Legs @ 12/25 (VirginBet)
Luke Littler and Gerwyn Price meet for the second time in the space of a week on Thursday night. The pair faced off at the semi-final stage in Cardiff last Thursday, with Littler playing the role of party pooper as he earned a 6-3 win.
Price wasn’t quite at his brilliant best last Thursday, but he should be far more competitive here following an encouraging run to the semi-finals at the UK Open over the weekend. Littler, meanwhile, will be looking to build on last week’s nightly success and his UK Open triumph as he looks to continue his climb up the standings.
Just like their meeting last week, another contest featuring at least nine legs looks firmly on the cards.
Premier League Darts Night 6 Winner Tip
Luke Littler To Win Night 6 - @ 7/4 (SpreadEx)
Luke Littler claimed his first nightly win last Thursday, and few would bet against him taking top honours in Nottingham this week. The teenage sensation delivered a string of strong performances last Thursday and has shot up to 2nd place in the table as a result.
The Nuke carried that form into the UK Open last weekend when becoming the first player in a decade to lift the trophy in consecutive years. Despite a tricky route to the Night 6 final, Littler looks in fine fettle and could be tough to stop as he aims to add another five points to his tally.
Jonny Clayton To Win Night 6 - @ 8/1 (Sky Bet)
On the other side of the draw, Jonny Clayton looks a value selection to bag another weekly win at best odds of 8/1 on Sky Bet. The Ferret heads into Night 6 holding a five point lead at the top of the table and has already contested two weekly finals this season, winning one of them.
If Clayton can get past Michael van Gerwen in his opener, he’ll certainly fancy his chances against either Josh Rock or Stephen Bunting, who start the week in the Premier League’s bottom two. A potential final with Luke Littler would be a tougher challenge, but Clayton has already toppled the teenage superstar twice in this year’s Premier League and looks more than capable of doing it again.
