THE Echo Arena in Liverpool will host a repeat of last year's McCoy's Premier League Darts final between Gary Anderson and Adrian Lewis when the tournament returns to Merseyside on Thursday.
The clash between the reigning Premier League champion Anderson and current World Champion Lewis will be one of four games played in Liverpool on Thursday as the eight players battle for places in May's Play-Offs.
Phil Taylor, the 15-time World Champion, has already secured his semi-final place with only one defeat so far this season, and he takes on second-placed Simon Whitlock in a repeat of the 2010 World Championship final.
Five-time World Champion Raymond van Barneveld plays Andy Hamilton and 2009 Premier League winner James Wade takes on Kevin Painter in the other two games, with all seven others players still able to qualify for the Play-Offs alongside Taylor going into Thursday's event.
"The McCoy's Premier League season has been the best-ever so far, and we've seen some highly memorable moments in the past 11 weeks," said Professional Darts Corporation Chairman Barry Hearn.
"For every player to still have a chance of reaching the Play-Offs at this stage shows how close the field is, and all eight stars know how important these last three weeks will be.
"Phil Taylor's already hit a nine-darter in Aberdeen but it wouldn't surprise me to see one or two more hit this season, because the standard these players are producing is incredible.
"They're getting great support from fans around the country every week and raising their games at the same time."
Over 6,000 tickets have already been sold but a small number of tickets for Thursday's McCoy's Premier League Darts, which begins at 7pm, are still available from the Echo Arena Box Office on 0844 8000 400 or through www.echoarena.com, costing £20 plus booking fee.
