Premier League Darts 2021: Wayne Mardle and Mark Webster go head-to-head in our prediction challenge
It is Wayne Mardle vs Mark Webster in the latest instalment of our Premier League Darts predictions; coverage of the Premier League continues on Friday with the fifth consecutive night of action in Milton Keynes
Last Updated: 09/04/21 3:28pm
For this year's Premier League Darts predictions, we have pitched Wayne Mardle against Mark Webster - and Webby is on the comeback trail.
After watching Mardle take the honours on the opening two nights, and with it open up an eight-point advantage, former BDO world champion Webster has slashed the deficit and now trails by just four points after a 4-1 win on Thursday night.
With the fourth night of action throwing up a few curveballs, Webster's prediction of a draw between Dimitri Van den Bergh and Peter Wright was the decisive factor as both experts picked up a point for Gary Anderson's win over Glen Durrant.
Neither man predicted James Wade's victory over Michael van Gerwen or Rob Cross' trouncing of Jonny Clayton, so it was a quiet night all told, with Webster following up a one-point win on Wednesday with a three-point triumph on Thursday.

Night Five predictions
0:42 It's game on in the chase for points on the last night of the first stage on Friday.
The tournament will resume with four nights of action from Monday April 19 - but who will have the advantage?
It should be said both men appear to be taking this very seriously, and Mardle's first thought coming out of the commentary box on the Sky Sports balcony at the Marshall Arena is: 'What did Webby have?'

If we take Mardle's 7-0 win on opening night out of the equation then Webster actually has a 12-9 advantage over the last three nights, so the momentum is with him.
However, there's very little chance for inroads on Friday with the pair picking four identical outcomes and three identical scores across the opening four games. The deciding factor could come in the final match of the night where Mardle has top-of-the-table Dimitri Van den Bergh beating another nine-dart hero, Jose de Sousa, while Webster has opted for a draw.
