Nathan Aspinall and Michael Smith will go head-to-head in a straight shoot-out for Play-Off qualification on Night 16 of the BetMGM Premier League in Sheffield on Thursday.
The final night of league phase action in 2024 will take place in front of a sell-out crowd at the Utilita Arena, as Aspinall and Smith bid to join Luke Littler, Luke Humphries and Michael van Gerwen in the season-ending Play-Offs.
Aspinall leads Smith by one point going into Thursday's crunch quarter-final tussle in the Steel City, with the winner assured of a place in the forthcoming Play-Offs at London's O2 on Thursday May 23.
Aspinall won their first two meetings in this year's roadshow, although when the pair renewed their rivalry in Leeds last week, Smith ran out a 6-3 winner to preserve his hopes of a top-four finish.
