Darts Premier League 2026: Night 12 - Liverpool

Ladbrokes shares a quick rundown of what to expect from Night 12 of the 2026 Darts Premier League, as the players take to the oche in Liverpool.

Luke Littler once again enters the night as Ladbrokes' front-runner, with Gerwyn Price tipped as second-favourite despite only picking up one nightly win since week two.

Darts Premier League leader Jonny Clayton offers real value as fifth-favourite to win Night 12, with this season's surprise package coming in with odds of 8/1.

Below, you'll find a quick look at each of Night 12's opening-round fixtures, plus the odds & favourites - and don't forget to check out our season overview!

Gian van Veen vs Gerwyn Price

Gerwyn Price still sits comfortably inside the top four as we head into week 12, with two nightly wins to his name and a six-point cushion to fifth, and the bookies are backing him to get past Gian van Veen in the pair's quarter-final this week.

The Welshman hasn't won a Premier League game for a couple of weeks now, but has beaten van Veen on three occasions already this season, so the Iceman clearly knows how to get the better of the world number three. Van Veen still has hopes of sneaking into the top four, but will need a win here to put the pressure on those above him.

Stephen Bunting vs Jonny Clayton

Back-to-back nightly wins for Jonny Clayton have seen him soar back to the top of the Premier League table, with the Welshman now looking almost certain for a place at Finals Night - and Ladbrokes is tipping him to enjoy another quarter-final victory when he takes on Stephen Bunting in Liverpool.

Bunting remains a real outsider for progression to Finals Night, with serious ground to make up, but in front of his home crowd, he may well pull a performance out of the bag. That being said, he fell at the first hurdle here last year, being thrashed by Rob Cross, and we're predicting a similar story against Jonny Clayton this time around.

Josh Rock vs Michael van Gerwen

Josh Rock still sits at the foot of the Premier League table, but with the Northern Irishman winning each of his last four quarter-finals, he's starting to find his feet at a crucial time. However, against seven-time PL winner Michael van Gerwen, Rock's chances seem slim.

MVG has won the only two meetings between these two players this year, and has done so reasonably comfortably, so the Dutchman is tipped to progress to the semis here. A first nightly win since the opening week would certainly make his cushion inside the top four more comfortable, but points for a quarter-final victory should also give him an extra boost this week.

Luke Humphries vs Luke Littler

The world's top two meet again as current Premier League champion Luke Humphries takes on reigning world champion Luke Littler, and it's the former who finds himself desperately needing points to break into the top four.

Humphries is yet to notch a nightly win this term, only winning seven matches in the first 11 weeks, and defeat to Littler last week suggests the teenager has the upper hand here - which is also reflected in the odds. Finals Night without Humphries would be a real surprise, but if this one goes the way Ladbrokes expects it to, the world number two won't be any closer to retaining his title after a short evening in Liverpool.
