PREMIER LEAGUE Darts will start at a new time on Thursday in Berlin.
Luke Littler is bidding to increase his eight-point lead at the top of the table.

It is Night 9 of the competition and it will take place outside the British isles for the first time this year.
And in another first, the action will kick off for UK viewers at 6pm.
That is an hour earlier than typically scheduled, with Premier League organisers looking to prevent a late finish as Germany is an hour ahead of the UK.
Sky Sports will broadcast the night’s play as always on their Main Event and Sky Sports+ channels.
A £10,000 jackpot is up for grabs with the winner of the night as well as five points, which could be crucial for players as they seek to qualify for the finals night next month.
Stephen Bunting is still looking to get off the mark after losing eight out of eight matches so far.
The Bullet recorded the highest average ever for a losing player in the Premier League last week as he was demolished 6-0 by Littler.
The Nuke has won 16 matches and four nights, giving him a healthy lead at the top of the table ahead of Luke Humphries in second place.

Littler, 18. admitted after his latest win that he might be the best darts player in the world.
Following the 6-1 win over world No1 Humphries in last week’s final, the world champion said: “I think that goes to show how everyone does say I’m the best in the world at the minute.
“But you know me I’ll never really say I’m the best in the world.
“I but I’m performing better than these guys so maybe I should be saying I’m best in the world.
“For myself when I’m playing certain players I know when I’ve got them and it goes to show.
“Humphries shows a bit too much and as a player you’re like he’s at 60 or 41 and he’s not happy about it then his next throw he is the same score so you just have to pounce.”
