The Northern Irishman has lost all of his 7 career Premier League matches and the Antrim ace could provide an average of just 84.21 in an abysmal 6-0 loss to Price in Dublin last week. Clayton can offer Rocky a beating in Berlin and get rid of a 1.5 leg handicap.

Luke Littler vs Stephen Bunting

Luke Littler is the control force in darts, but there is a big enigma over the Nuke in Germany - he has skipped the 2 European Tour events there this season - and the boo young boys will be out for him once again.

Littler lost in Germany alongside Humphries at the last-16 phase of in 2015's World Cup in Frankfurt, and the 19-year-old has won only one match at the European Championships in Dortmund.

The Nuke handles Stephen Bunting, who he beat 6-3 in Dublin last Thursday, but the Bullet averaged 104.10 because loss and the Merseyside male can be fancied to narrow the space with the world champ likely to feel the heat.
