The race to top the Premier League Darts table goes down to the final week of the regular season - as does the fourth and final play-off spot. Here is how both issues could be decided in Aberdeen.
Long-term Premier League Darts leader Michael van Gerwen is only a point ahead of second-placed Peter Wright as the pair eye the £25,000 bonus on the final night of the regular season while Dave Chisnall still has a mathematical chance of catching Phil Taylor in fourth.
MVG, Wright and Gary Anderson have already assured themselves of a play-off spot although the latter could be leapfrogged by Taylor.
Here are all the permutations for the two key issues in Aberdeen as well as quotes from the players involved, while we also have all the fixtures and current table...

Premier League Permutations: League Leader
How can Peter Wright top the table?
Snakebite will go one point above MVG if he beats Raymond van Barneveld while a draw puts him level on 22 points.
In that scenario he would then require Van Gerwen to lose 7-1 against Anderson to stay top.
A win for MVG guarantees top spot. If Wright wins 7-2, 7-3, 7-4 or 7-5, MVG only needs a draw to finish top.
If Wright wins 7-5 with six legs won against throw, the Dutchman would need to draw with at least one leg won against throw.
If Wright draws, van Gerwen only needs two legs to finish top (or three legs if Wright won all six legs against throw).
What Peter Wright says...
"I'm feeling really good. It's nice not to have the pressure on, having qualified with two weeks to go, but I still want to finish top - Michael's the best player in the game at the moment but I'm trying to push him.
"I need to beat Barney to try and get that top spot and I'm looking at the two points.
"Playing Barney in Scotland will be huge because the crowd treat him like one of their own. It should be a fantastic match with loads of noise from the crowd and singing because Aberdeen's a great crowd so I'm looking forward to it."
What MVG says...
"Last year (hitting an average of 123.40) was fantastic in Aberdeen and it's a great memory for me, but I have to focus on this week's game because Gary's in good form.
"He's won his last couple of matches so I know I've got to prepare myself. My aim was to finish top and it's still in my hands, so I'll do everything I can to achieve it this week."
Premier League Permutations: Final play-off spot
How can Dave Chisnall catch Phil Taylor?
Chizzy must win to go level on 17 points with Phil Taylor, and then hope that the Power loses by enough legs to give Chisnall a better leg difference.
Currently Taylor's leg difference is 10 better than Chizzy but even if that criteria is level by the end of Thursday night, the Power will go through because his tally of legs won against the throw (the third factor) can't be matched or bettered. Taylor's is 32, Chizzy's is 25.
Therefore a 7-4 victory for Chisnall won't be enough because a 7-0 defeat for Taylor will then see the pair level on legs difference.
Taylor qualifies if Chisnall does not win or draws.
If Chisnall wins, Taylor qualifies for the play-offs with any win or a draw. Even if Chizzy wins 7-0, he will qualify with a 7-4 defeat or a closer margin of defeat.
What Dave Chisnall says...
"I'm relying on other results but I'm still in with a chance and it should be exciting.
"It's been good in recent weeks and I've been feeling great. I've been playing well for a while now so we'll see what happens this week and hopefully I can play well again.
"James is a top quality player, one of the best finishers in the game and I can't give him a chance. I've given people some chances recently and they've take it and I can't afford to do that with James."
What Phil Taylor says...
"I'm in a good position but I've still got to perform. I'm trying to get to The O2 and if I get there then it will be fantastic to be involved.
"I'm not banking on anything because Adrian could come out and put in a massive performance - there's no pressure on him now that he can't qualify."
