Ladbrokes previews Night 13 of the 2026 Darts Premier League in Aberdeen
Luke Littler the favourite again after winning in Liverpool last week
Premier League leader Jonny Clayton priced at 15/2 to claim his fifth nightly win of the season

Ladbrokes shares a quick rundown of what to expect from Night 13 of the 2026 Darts Premier League, as the players take to the oche in Aberdeen.
Luke Littler once again enters the night as favourite following his victory in Liverpool last time out, and it's Gerwyn Price who the bookies are tipping as second-favourite to give the world number one a run for his money this week.
Below, you'll find a quick look at each of Night 13's opening-round fixtures, plus the odds & favourites - and don't forget to check out our season overview!
Another nightly win for Littler last time out saw him close the gap on Premier League leader Jonny Clayton, building a seemingly insurmountable cushion inside the top four in the process - and he's tipped to get past Josh Rock in this week's quarter-final in Aberdeen.
Rock remains bottom of the table with just four wins to his name across the opening 12 weeks, and with Littler winning each of the last seven meetings between the pair, the world number one looks set to reach a ninth semi-final of the season - winning his Aberdeen quarter-final for the third year in a row.
Three consecutive quarter-final defeats have left Price looking nervously over his shoulder as he looks to secure his place at Finals Night, but coming up against Stephen Bunting - who has won just six matches all season - does present an excellent opportunity for the Welshman to regain some form.
Bunting has lost both of this season's previous Premier League meetings with Price, and having crashed out at the quarter-final stage in eight weeks already this year, we're expecting another opening-round defeat for the Bullet against a fired up Price.
Despite losing last week's final to the reigning world champion, Jonny Clayton still sits pretty at the top of the Premier League table with an 18-point lead over Gian van Veen in fifth - and with eight wins from his last nine PL games, the Welshman's form should carry him through here.
Van Veen has had a decent debut season in the Premier League, and does still have genuine hopes of breaking into the top four come May, but having lost the last three matches against Clayton, the Dutchman has it all to do in Scotland this week.
The last quarter-final of the night sees reigning Premier League champion Luke Humphries take on seven-time PL champion Michael van Gerwen - and with neither man enjoying a hugely impressive campaign, both players will see this as a real chance to progress.
Almost unbelievably, Humphries sits in sixth ahead of the night without a single nightly win to his name, while MVG's sole nightly win does have him in the top four - just about. The pair have already met three times in the Premier League this season, with van Gerwen winning twice, but on a massive evening for both, this match is proving incredibly hard to call.
