Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price have dominated the first half of the 2023 Cazoo Premier League season - we look at the Sportradar statistics at the halfway point of this year's league phase.
A total of 56 matches have now been played across eight nights in the sport's biggest roadshow, with the action set to continue at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin on Thursday.
Reigning champion Van Gerwen boasts a seven-point lead at the Premier League summit, after becoming the first player to win three consecutive league nights since the nightly knockout format was introduced last year.
Van Gerwen celebrated wins in Dublin, Exeter and Liverpool as he bids to top the table for a ninth time, although Price reduced the Dutchman's lead at the top with back-to-back wins in Nottingham and Newcastle.
The Welshman has been in blistering form over recent weeks, dispatching Van Gerwen 6-1 in Newcastle last week with a 114.96 average - the highest match average produced in the Premier League since 2017.
Nathan Aspinall and World Champion Michael Smith currently occupy the remaining spots in the top four, with debutant Chris Dobey and Dimitri Van den Bergh in fifth and sixth respectively.
Elsewhere, 2021 champion and last year's table-topper Jonny Clayton sits in seventh position, with 2017 runner-up Peter Wright languishing on two points at the bottom of the pile.
With eight nights of league action remaining before the season-ending Play-Offs take place at the O2 in London, we've compiled the key stats from the event so far.
