Schedule for PDC Premier League Darts Night 11 in Birmingham

The Night 11 quarter-finals see the St Helens man renew his rivalry with Gerwyn Price, who ended his participation in Manchester last week at the semi-final stage in stunning fashion.

Smith was on the wrong end of the first nine-dart finish of this year’s competition as in-form Welshman Price beat him 6-3 before losing to Luke Littler in the final.

It means that, with six nights to go, Smith is on the outside looking in at the top four – he is two points adrift of fourth-placed Michael Van Gerwen, with Nathan Aspinall a point further ahead in third.

He would meet one of those two in the semi-finals if he can battle his way past Price, with their match being the third of the four last-eight ties to be played.

Smith and Price are due on stage at around 8.15pm.
