Michael van Gerwen has lost six of his last seven Premier League matches and is in danger of missing out on the Play-Offs for just the second time; reigning champion meets Nathan Aspinall in quarter-finals on Night 11 in Birmingham, live on Sky Sports from 7pm on Thursday
After four weeks of BetMGM Premier League Darts, ‘Mighty Mike’ was living up to his moniker.
Michael van Gerwen sat at the top of the table on 15 points following three nightly wins in a row, with the Dutchman victorious in Berlin, Glasgow and Newcastle.
MVG held an eight-point advantage over nearest challenger Michael Smith and already looked well on his way to a Play-Off place, something he has only failed to achieve once in the 11 previous editions he has appeared in.
But the seven-time Premier League champion’s prospects do not look quite so rosy now.
