Luke Humphries and Rob Cross will renew their rivalry on Night Five of the BetMGM Premier League in Brighton, as Humphries targets a third nightly win of the campaign.
World number one Humphries has enjoyed a terrific start to the season, claiming a brace of nightly wins in Belfast and Exeter, while also finishing runner-up on Night Two in Glasgow.
The 30-year-old boasts a seven-point lead over his closest challenger Luke Littler at the top of the table, after recording his first Premier League victory over the teenager in last week’s Night Four fina
Humphries also overcame Gerwyn Price and Cross on his way to victory in Exeter, converting a hat-trick of ton-plus checkouts to deny Cross in a compelling semi-final tussle.
The pair will lock horns for a second straight week at The Brighton Centre, and Humphries is determined to build on his magnificent start to the league phase against the Hastings-born star
