    Rob Cross 1-0 Michael Smith

    Stuart Pyke
    Commentator on Sky Sports

    I'm a bit puzzled by the crowd reaction to Rob Cross. They booed him as he walked on and they've been giving him a bit of stick here.

    I don't know why.

    The first quarter-final sees top of the table Michael Smith take on Rob Cross.

    Voltage was beaten by Luke Littler in Berlin last week in a close match that ended 6-5, while Smith overcame Nathan Aspinall before losing out to Michael van Gerwen in the semi-finals.

    2019 Premier League runner-up Cross is looking to build momentum in his campaign but Bully Boy has shown he is in superb form.

    Night one winner Michael Smith, talking to Sky Sports, about his quarter-final with Rob Cross: "This morning I remembered I won here last year so hopefully I can do it again. I want to get to 20 points as soon as possible so I don't have to force myself.

    "It should be a good game and the crowd should have some fun. It should be a good contest."

    We know Luke Littler is going to do special things. Anyone who gets sick and tired of talking about him is watching the wrong sport because he's a once in a generation player.

    He will win nights during the Premier League. He just adds excitement to the game.

    Since bursting onto the scene at the World Championship, Luke Littler has not let up.

    He hit a nine-darter on his way to winning the Bahrain Masters and this week he did it again on his Players Championship debut.

    His second nine-darter of the year came in his 6-1 win over Michele Turetta in the last 32 and he proceeded to beat Ryan Searle in the final.

    It isn't completely predictable so far and I didn't expect it to be. It's credit to the players, they've hit the ground running rather than feeling their way into it.
