"Gerwyn Price can cement his position inside the top four of the Premier League table by overcoming Rob Cross on Thursday night. ‘The Iceman’ has been one of the most impressive performers in this season’s Premier League, earning his 13th win from his 23 matches thus far by edging out Luke Humphries in Birmingham last week. 

With the race for play-off places really starting to heat up, Price will have earmarked this fixture as a huge opportunity to put another two vital points on the board, not to mention he can draw confidence from the fact that he defeated Cross 6-2 in Liverpool a fortnight ago. 

As for ‘Voltage’ his own play-off hopes are beginning to fade as we head into the final three weeks of the regular season. Cross is the only player that has failed to reach a weekly final in this year’s Premier League, losing 13 of his overall 20 matches to date. What’s more, Cross has fallen at the first hurdle in four of the last five weeks, and everything points towards that trend continuing in Leeds this Thursday."

"Given his remarkable 180 numbers in this year's Premier League, Luke Littler represents good value to hit the most maximums in his quarter-final clash with Nathan Aspinall on Thursday night. The Warrington wonderkid hit a combined total of 13 180s on his way to a record-breaking fifth weekly title last week. 

What’s more, Littler won the 180 battle in each of his three victories in Birmingham last Thursday, one of which was against Aspinall. ‘The Nuke’ racked up seven 180s to Aspinall’s three, meaning that he has now won the 180 battle in each of the pairs four Premier League meetings this year to date. With Littler’s overall 180 return in this season’s Premier League now sitting at an eye-watering 141, the teenage sensation has to be fancied to land the most maximums in this encounter."
