It is Wayne Mardle vs Mark Webster in the latest instalment of our Premier League Darts predictions; coverage of the Premier League resumed on Wednesday May 5 with the first of three nights from the second phase
Friday 7 May 2021 19:20, UK
After 11 days of action, Mark Webster leads our Premier League Darts prediction challenge for the first time to leave Wayne Mardle playing catch-up.
It's been nip and tuck between the Sky Sports experts throughout the Premier League campaign so far but Webby produced a stellar predicting performance on Thursday to take a three-point lead.
The Welshman claimed a perfect three points when James Wade and Jose De Sousa shared the points, while he claimed a single point for the right outcome in victories for Dimitri Van den Bergh, Gary Anderson and Michael van Gerwen.
Mardle relinquished his lead with just a couple of points in Van den Bergh and van Gerwen's wins.
In the final night of action before the resumption, there's only one game where our experts disagree entirely and that's Van den Bergh vs Anderson where Mardle believes the Belgian triumphs and Webby reckons it will be honours even.
The pair agree on the outcomes in the other three matches, but the scorelines could prove to be crucial.
We've also got our guys to make their predictions for how the top four will look at the end of the league phase.
We will award one point for each correct selection that makes the top four, and if they get their league position correct there will be an extra point too. Three bonus points will be awarded for each correct selection of the champion and runner-up.
The pair agree on three of the top four - Dimitri Van den Bergh, Nathan Aspinall and Jonny Clayton - while their third selection differs. Mardle has picked Jose de Sousa, who he believes will lose to Van den Bergh in the final, while Webby has James Wade making the top four and claiming the title with victory over Dimitri in the final.
