Although Wright and Whitlock cannot qualify for the play-offs, both players will be battling out to avoid the wooden spoon this year. The Australian moved above 'Snakebite' into seventh spot with a shock victory over Gary Anderson in Manchester last week to ending his three-game losing run while last year's runner-up Wright will be aiming to bounce back from his 7-1 humbling at the hands of Michael Smith.

Talking point

World Grand Prix champion Gurney fought back against Michael van Gerwen to keep his hopes of making the play-offs alive last week, but the Northern Irishman must now defeat second-placed Smith with 'Bully Boy' feeling the heat from Rob Cross and Gary Anderson, who sit just below him in the standings.

Talking point

In the game of the night World Champion Cross takes on reigning Premier League champion Van Gerwen. The world No 1 hammered 'Voltage' 7-2 on opening night in Dublin, but Cross is a very different animal as we enter Week 14. Cross is all but assured of a place at The O2 while MVG is looking to finish top of the table for a sixth straight year. He currently sits three points clear at the top of the league and a win here would assure him of achieving that feat. Expect fireworks!

Talking point

Van Barneveld's play-off dreams were ended as he was held to draw by Rob Cross last week, but he has pride to play for when he tackles 'The Flying Scotsman' Anderson in Brum. Anderson's four-game winning run to an end at the hands of Simon Whitlock meaning his place in the top-four is still not assured.
