The last five-fixture night of 2017's Betway Premier League sees Birmingham as its venue with autistic and morbidly obese two-time World Champions doubling up.
Starting the evening is ferry loving Stokie Adrian Lewis against bipolar disorder's James Wade. With neither player having competed in the weekend's Euro Tour event, the pair's last matches were brutal beatdowns in Belfast last Thursday. Fat Man can end Med Man's playoff chances with victory tonight, although Wade's leg difference of -12 has surely done that already.
Michael van Gerwen then competes in the latest retard fight against Dave Chisnall. MVG's Saarbrücken trip saw him dumped out by the dabbing Ian White with a rare sub-ton average, but enjoyed a strong PL victory over his compatriot. Chizzy's playoff chances have risen from the dead after his double success last time out, but having lost 14 straight matches against the Autism Express, it'll be a tough task to keep them alive.
Weekend victor Peter Wright faces Phil Taylor in the night's middle fixture. Clownman claimed his second Euro title of the year despite averaging 13 points less than Benito van de Pas's 110, and can secure his maiden O2 visit with a win. Pheel can overtake Wright in the table, but a similar performance to last week's comeback from 4-0 down is needed if that's to happen.
Two gameraisers clash in the penultimate match as Gary Anderson faces Raymond van Barneveld. With the Scot 4th and the Dutchman 5th and only separated by 7 legs, a win is vital for both, moreso RVB. Assuming Gando isn't doing a Joey Barton on the result and Barney isn't headshaking and moaning, this should be a very tight affair
MVG and Lewis face off in the closer that could see Mighty Mike secure top spot in the league, providing he's won his earlier match and Wright fails to do so. Their last meeting was the stunning Players Champs semifinal at the start of April::more of that please, lads.
Coverage starts from 7:00pm UK time on Sky Sports 5.

*dabs against Autism*
If ever a match could be summed up by "trebles for show, doubles for dough", it was this one.
Wright's 121 was a bull finish for the match as well.

The question is which to watch on tv and which on phone and then which to have on mute
>>75533948
Consider the following:
>not watching both on streams and in small windows
Currently got darts on mute but will switch later once the matches start
>>75533979
If mardle comes on its an auto mute for me. Plot twist: even if the alternative is virgo
>>75534001
Mardle's not involved tonight.

yeah I know it's just a fun fact
In Dutch: to speak with a hot potato in your mouth = to speak posh
Van Gerwen is the opposite of posh probably
Literally no clue what Wright's "theme" is supposed to be tonight.

Think that could be it for Barney this season.
Has Chizz next week so that's not too difficult but then Clown in Aberdeen.
Hard to see him getting more than a point there.
>>75537355
Barney against Clown in his current form might get ugly.

And that D7 closes a variable night of darting action.
Adrian Lewis's double decker (no, not the chocolate bar) was as disastrous as it could have been as he failed to pick up a point. James Wade was his first victor as Snackpot's finishing vanished, only checking out at 25%, with the Machine hitting a nice 100 on his way to a much needed win that keeps him in the play-off race... for now anyway.
Dave Chisnall blew it yet again against a better player as he let 5-2 and 6-3 leads collapse against Michael van Gerwen. A Chizzy 84 to break in leg 6 punished a poor MVG, whose scoring and finishing was well below his usual standard as he dropped below 100. But once Dave hit D1 to secure a point, the Autism Express activated as he punished three missed D18s at 6-4 down for Chizz's match to claim a point.
Peter Wright finally made it to the O2 with a convincing battering of Phil Taylor. Pheel went 2-1 up with a 93 but won just one more leg as Clown's 41% finishing punished him: back-to-back 104 and 116 finishes from Wright pretty much killed the Groper, who only claimed one more leg.
Gary Anderson attempted a repeat of last week's 4-0 bottlejob yet held on for a crucial two points against Raymond van Barneveld in a high quality game. Barney got into the match in leg 4 with an 85 on the bull, but Gando hit back with a crushing 161 to go 4-1 up. RVB claimed three straight legs to tie it and then blew it on D16 for 5-4 and didn't win another leg as Anderson won with a 105 average.
Then, humiliation. The MVG-Lewis rivalry is dead after a whitewash of the Stokie. This was peak MVG: 111 average with 70% on the doubles surely ends Lewis's O2 hopes; a brutal murder of such a talent.
The penultimate league night is next week with these four matches from Sheffield:
>Peter Wright v Adrian Lewis
>Raymond van Barneveld v Dave Chisnall
>James Wade v Gary Anderson
>Michael van Gerwen v Phil Taylor
See you then. The Darts Show is also on again tomorrow on ITV4.
