Chris Dobey is the first announced to this Manchester crowd.
He chuckles as some boos ring out from the crowd, perhaps due to his Newcastle allegiance and the fact his side is better than both Manchester clubs....
It's good to see Michael van Gerwen back after last week. He confirms the story around his injury came from putting a t-shirt on!
A good reception for him as they chant his name during the walk-on.

The Welshman also hit the highest average of the day in his quarter-final clash with Jonny Clayton.
Price had a stunning average of 112.25 in the last-8 clash and he will be looking to continue his fine form against Luke Littler this evening.

Luke Littler could break yet ANOTHER record this evening.
Should the world champion win the night on home soil, he would take his tally of nightly wins to five.

Aspinall added: "I feel I should be in the Premier League. Everyone knows it deep down why the put me in the Premier League and I have proved my worth - it's made me a better player.
"I think I proved that the last three weeks. I've been in my opinion one of the best players in the world in the last three or four weeks.
"When I'm a confident player, when I'm scoring well, there's not many people in the world of darts that can beat me. I'm going to take so much confidence from this."
