Here are my predictions for a stacked slate on Night 13.
*Semifinals and final listed below are my predictions based on the quarterfinals
Winner: Luke Littler, 6-3
Rock has yet to beat Littler, with a 0-7 record against him.
They've played once in the 2026 PL, and Littler won 6-4.
Litter seems to be back in form, after a dip in performance for a few weeks after Manchester, so it will be tough for Rock to find his first career win over Littler.
Winner: Stephen Bunting, 6-5
Bunting has an outside shot at making the play-off, and he'll need a run to the final tonight to feel some sort of confidence entering the final weeks.
In the three weeks following Price's night win in Manchester, he's had all quarterfinal round exits, so Bunting could look to capitalize on a lack of form in the PL from Price.
It won't be easy, but Bunting should have a solid chance against Price this week.
Winner: Jonny Clayton, 6-4
Clayton's consistency in the PL has been one of the stories of the year so far.
He's won two of the last three weeks, with a runner-up finish in the other week.
GVV hasn't been too consistent himself in the last month-plus, so Clayton will be confident heading into this match.
Winner: Luke Humphries, 6-4
It's now or never for Luke Humphries, who has claimed only two points in the last five weeks.
He's only five points behind MVG for fourth place, so a win here could be massive in multiple ways.
A quarterfinal loss this week would pretty much end Humphries' hopes of making the play-off night to try and defend his 2025 PL title.
Winner: Luke Littler, 6-3
An in-form Littler has been one of Bunting's biggest problems this year, as it is for many other players as well.
Bunting has produced some averages that, on paper, should be able to rival what Littler produces, but when Littler plays his A or B game, it seems to be enough to get by with a win over Bunting.
Winner: Luke Humphries, 6-5
As we see sometimes, a player just needs to win one game to get back on track and gain confidence back.
Humphries needs more than just two points this week, but a quarterfinal win could take some stress off his shoulders and allow him to play more freely.
Expect a tight contest even if Humphries rediscover his form this week, as Clayton is one of the most in-form players in darts at the moment.
Winner: Luke Humphries, 6-5
Humphries could tie MVG on points if he wins the night, which would put him right back in the conversation to make the play-off night.
He has the skillset to get it done, but he'll need his mental game to be there on Thursday to get it done.
Here are the main storylines to look out for on Night 13.
A Humphries win against MVG would be huge for his play-off desires, but a loss would also be devastating.
Rock has yet to find a win against Littler, but he'll look to change that as they prepare to face each other once again.
Littler will look to get back to the top of the league table for the first time since Night 9.
