A round-up of all the action from week eight of the Premier League in Rotterdam

Judgement has been delivered already to Raymond van Barneveld so now Thursday's Premier League Darts in Rotterdam will be a celebration of the Dutch legend.

Eliminated after a 7-1 loss to Daryl Gurney on Wednesday, Van Barneveld cannot rise from the bottom position in the table even if he defeats Michael van Gerwen on Thursday.

Judgement Night, instead, will be an opportunity to revel in Van Barneveld who plans to retire in January 2020.

Suljovic completes turnaround against Cross last night

Head-to-head record: Gurney 7-5 Suljovic

Gurney has won all three of his televised meetings against Suljovic.

In the first seven nights, Suljovic has always had a higher match average than his opponent.

Both men shone last night. Gurney trounced Van Barneveld after Suljovic recovered from a 1-5 deficit to beat Rob Cross. Gurney beat Van Gerwen last week, too.

Peter Wright vs Gerwyn Price

Head-to-head record: Wright 12-2 Price

Lawrence Lustig/PDC

Wright and Price met in the 2017 UK Open final, where 'Snakebite' won his only major title to date.

But his experience in Rotterdam has been miserable so far. He was hammered 7-1 by Van Gerwen on Wednesday.

Both players currently sit outside of the top four.

Rob Cross vs Jeffrey de Zwaan

Head-to-head record: Cross 2-0 De Zwaan

Premier League game at the BHGE Arena in Aberdeen between Michael Smith and Rob Cross

A repeat of their first-round clash at the World Championship which Cross won 3-1, despite De Zwaan averaging over 106.

De Zwaan enjoyed two televised wins over Van Gerwen last year.

Cross is looking to become just the third player behind Phil Taylor and Van Gerwen to finish top of the league phase - but last night he surrendered the No 1 spot when he lost to Suljovic.

Raymond van Barneveld vs Michael van Gerwen
