Elsewhere on the night there were plenty of twists. Luke Humphries opened with a 6–3 win over Nathan Aspinall before his semi-final triumph over Michael van Gerwen (6–4). Stephen Bunting’s homecoming at the M&S Bank Arena ended in a one-sided 6–1 defeat to Rob Cross.

- Odds: 15/8
Luke Littler: The 18-year-old sensation from England has stormed onto the scene in 2025, boasting a superb 75% win rate and an FDI rating of 1900 that positions him second on the Order of Merit. With over £1.8 million in prize money already in his pocket, Littler’s scoring power is undeniable – a tournament-best average of 122.96 and a TV high of 114.00 underline his ability to rattle off maximums at will. He lifted the World Championship crown with a commanding 7–3 victory over Michael van Gerwen, and added both the UK Open (11–2 over James Wade) and Belgian Darts Open (8–5 v Mike De Decker) to his trophy haul. In the head-to-head, he holds a narrow 4–3 advantage over Bunting.
Stephen Bunting: The Merseyside veteran (40) sits fourth in the Order of Merit on a respectable 62% season win rate, backed by an 1823 FDI rating. “The Bullet” has banked nearly £1.92 million in his career and delivered a tournament-best 117.12 (111.33 on TV). His 2025 highlights include winning the Bahrain Darts Masters (8–4 v Gerwyn Price) and finishing runner-up in the Dutch Darts Masters (5–8 to Rob Cross). Bunting’s world title semi-final run ended at the hands of Littler (1–6), but his heavy-scoring and clinical finishing make him a danger in any matchup.
Head-to-head: Littler leads Bunting 4–3, though Bunting has shown he can pull off wins when it matters most, including victories in both the Dutch Masters group stage and key Players Championship ties.
Summary of Selection: Littler’s meteoric rise is built on relentless scoring and big-stage composure – he’s the clear pick for match victory, the most 180s and the highest checkout. At 15/8, this treble offers exceptional value ahead of what should be a high-octane contest in Birmingham.
Nathan Aspinall vs. Chris Dobey: Aspinall to Win & Highest Checkout, Dobey Most 180s
Bet Builder Selection:
- Match Result: Nathan Aspinall
- Highest Checkout: Nathan Aspinall
- Most 180s: Chris Dobey
- Odds: 13/2
Nathan Aspinall: The 33-year-old from Manchester has amassed over £2.14 million in career prize money and holds a 58% win rate this season, backed by an FDI rating of 1847 and eighth spot on the Order of Merit. His tournament-best average of 117.45 (110.22 on TV) underlines his scoring class, and he lifted the European Darts Trophy with an 8–4 victory over Ryan Joyce. Although Aspinall’s runs at the World Championship and UK Open both ended in quarter-final exits, he’s shown resilience in tight matches. He possesses one of the tour’s most reliable power-scoring and finishing games.
Chris Dobey: Hailing from Northumberland, the 34-year-old “Hollywood” has banked £1.44 million to date, posting a 56% season win rate and an 1800 FDI rating that sees him ninth on the Merit table. Dobey’s personal-best 113.54 (106.47 on TV) is backed up by three career nine-darters. His 2025 highlights include winning Players Championship 3 (8–4 v Jelle Klaasen) and finishing runner-up at PC2 (7–8 to Gerwyn Price), plus a semi-final showing at the World Championship. When in rhythm, Dobey’s 180-hitting is among the very best.
Head-to-head: Dobey leads Aspinall 9–4 in all events, underscoring his historical edge in this pairing—but Aspinall’s superior form and big-occasion mettle make him the pick for both the match and highest checkout.
Summary of Selection: Despite Dobey’s clear head-to-head advantage and class as a heavy 180-hitter, Aspinall’s higher scoring ceilings, clutch finishing under pressure, and recent title success make him the stand-out choice for both the win and the big checkout. Meanwhile, Dobey’s prodigious maximum-hitting talent secures him the most 180s. At 13/2, this treble strikes an attractive balance of form and value.
Luke Humphries vs. Gerwyn Price: Price to Win & Most 180s, Humphries Highest Checkout
Bet Builder Selection:
- Match Result: Gerwyn Price
- Most 180s: Gerwyn Price
- Highest Checkout: Luke Humphries
- Odds: 13/2
Luke Humphries: The 30-year-old from Berkshire tops the Order of Merit thanks to a stellar 69% win rate and an FDI rating of 1863. With over £3 million banked, Humphries boasts a best ever average of 119.15 and an 118.43 TV high, highlighting his scoring prowess. He claimed the World Masters title this year by edging Jonny Clayton 6–5 and finished runner-up in Players Championship 6 (3–8 to Gian van Veen). Despite an early exit in both the World Championship (Last 16) and the UK Open, his blend of power scoring and clutch finishing make him a serious threat for the big checkout.
Gerwyn Price: The 40-year-old “Iceman” from Caerphilly has piled up £4.53 million in prize money, winning 68% of his matches and posting an 1853 FDI rating. He’s recorded seven nine-darters and hit a personal best 117.88—identical on TV—over 11 Tour Card seasons. Price lifted Players Championship 2 with a tight 8–7 victory over Dobey, and has also been to the final of the Bahrain Darts Masters. Although he bowed out in the World Championship quarter-finals, his fearsome heavy-scoring makes him the standout pick to land the most 180s.
Head-to-head (all events): Price leads Humphries by 11 wins to 10, with one draw, underlining how narrowly these two are matched.
Summary of Selection: While Humphries’ finishing talents make him our choice for the highest checkout, Price’s superior heavy-scoring (seven nine-darters this season) and narrow H2H edge give him the nod for both the match win and the most 180s. At 13/2, this treble blends proven class with value in a heavyweight Premier League clash.
Rob Cross vs. Michael van Gerwen: MVG to Win, Highest Checkout & Most 180s
Bet Builder Selection:
- Match Result: Michael van Gerwen
- Highest Checkout: Michael van Gerwen
- Most 180s: Michael van Gerwen
- Odds: 15/4
Rob Cross: The 34-year-old “Voltage” from Kent exploded onto the scene by winning the World Championship in his debut year (2018) and has since banked over £3.3 million in prize money. This season, his 56% win rate and FDI rating of 1776 have kept him competitive, highlighted by titles at the Dutch Darts Masters (8–5 v Stephen Bunting) and Players Championship 1 (8–3 v Joe Cullen). Despite his clinical scoring—117.99 best average, 112.32 on TV—Cross has also suffered several early knockouts, suggesting a touch of inconsistency at the big events.
Michael van Gerwen: The 35-year-old Dutch maestro remains the benchmark of excellence, boasting a staggering £11.84 million in career earnings, a 55% win rate this year, and an 1821 FDI rating. Over 14 seasons he’s registered 30 nine-darters and holds the world record 123.40 average (also his TV high). Although he fell just short in the World Championship final (7–3 to Luke Littler) and has endured a few surprise early exits, MVG’s blend of heavy scoring and ruthless finishing makes him the firm favourite to land the match win, highest checkout and maximums.
Head-to-head (all events): Van Gerwen leads 29–13, underlining his long-term dominance over Cross despite the occasional upset.
Summary of Selection: While Cross has delivered silverware this season, Van Gerwen’s unparalleled scoring power—evidenced by his record average and 30 nine-darters—gives him the edge for both the win and the most 180s. His history of big checkouts also makes him the clear pick for the highest finish. At 15/4, this treble combines MVG’s elite pedigree with excellent value in what promises to be a blockbuster finale.
