Joe Cullen vs. Jonny Clayton: A Tough Fight Awaits You

Joe Cullen and Jonny Clayton are ready to oppose each other in the eighth round of the Premier League at First Direct Arena (Leeds) on 7th April 2022.

Cullen won his first PDC victory at the seventh Players Championship in April. He led the final 4–1 before Daryl Gurney leveled the score at 5–5. Cullen won on double four after Gurney missed one match dart. Cullen noted afterward that he had previously depended on his inherent skill, but he had also worked extremely hard on his game in the last year.

Cullen, who entered the 2022 PDC World Darts Championship ranked 13th in the world, overcame Jim Williams 3–2 in the second round before falling 3–4 to newcomer Martijn Kleermaker in the third. Cullen earned his first televised PDC championship on 30th January 2022, when he won the 2022 Masters. After defeating Daryl Gurney, Gary Anderson 10–1 with a 106.30 average, Michael van Gerwen, and José de Sousa, Cullen advanced to the final. Despite missing 10 match darts, he beat Dave Chisnall 11–9 to win his first PDC televised title.

In the playoffs, he defeated Michael van Gerwen in their semi-final 10-8. In the final, he defeated José de Sousa 11-5. As a result, he became the Premier League's first Welsh winner and the first player to finish fourth in the league phase and win the title.

Clayton competed in the World Grand Prix, reaching the final after defeating Callan Rydz, José de Sousa, Krzysztof Ratajski, and Danny Noppert. In the final, Clayton won his third major competition of the year with a 5-1 triumph over World No. 1 Gerwyn Price. Clayton won his fourth TV trophy of the year three weeks later, defeating Dimitri Van den Bergh 11–6 in the World Series of Darts Finals final.

Since both players are experienced and ready to give each other a tough fight, it is obvious that the total score will be lesser than 9.5.
