"Probably the best I’ve ever played on a consistent basis" - Luke Littler heads to Premier League meeting with Luke Humphries on top form
PDCThursday, 13 March 2025 at 17:30
The numbers one and two in the 2025 Premier League Darts table face off this Thursday night in the opening match of Night Six. Luke Humphries and Luke Littler reignite their rivalry in Nottingham, where they are both looking to continue their strong form.
Humphries and Littler have combined to win four of the first five nights of play in this year's edition of the Premier League Darts. Humphries currently leads the league table by two points ahead of reigning world champion Littler. Still, Littler seems to be coming to the Motorpoint Arena with a huge dose of confidence after an impressive run of performances in recent weeks.

The only 18-year-old Littler is in absolute top form. After his triumph at the recent UK Open, he also managed to win the fifth Premier League Darts night in Brighton. Last Sunday, he added another title by successfully defending his Belgian Darts Open title in Wieze.
His incredible win streak of 19 consecutive victories finally came to an end on the Pro Tour last Tuesday. Nevertheless, Littler once again showed what phenomenal talent he possesses. He posted an insane average of 122.93 against Damon Heta and even threw a nine darter earlier that day. “I’ve always been confident in my own ability,” assesses Littler to the PDC. “The way my darts are going at the minute, it’s probably the best I’ve ever played on a consistent basis. That is why I can find those extra gears and dig myself out of trouble when I need to.
“I said at the start of the year if I don't win anything all year, I'm still a World Champion," adds the 18-year-old sensation. "And I’m just enjoying my darts at the minute.”
Littler can attack for the lead in Premier League Darts on Thursday night. A win over Humphries will put him level with his great rival in points. On the contrary, in the event of a win for "Cool Hand Luke," Humphries creates a huge gap of seven points over his closest pursuer.

- The perfect darts player has to have the ability of Phil Taylor, looks of Chris Mason with the tan of Steve Beaton The throw, toughness and personality of Richie Burnett with Ted Hankey walk on music and the 9 darter celebration of Dean Winstanly. Mr Brightside always reminds me of Dean Winstanly as it was his original theme.richieburnettrocks18-06-2025
- Most of the players are already whinging about playing to much, unless something else is going to be axed where will another couple of competitions be squeezed in?Mysstree16-06-2025
- Indeed. The kid should grow up. Part of the game.SheGotLegs16-06-2025
- i also didn't see littler kicking off about this issue when it was his fans whistling and putting off opponents, which was happening on the regular during his first year on tour. humphries had to deal with it basically every time they played each other.colt16-06-2025
- Brilliant, Eric knew the risks and like most who die his age, bollox to being old and all that. Fair play to him and the rest of those who die young doing the same thing.Plaza15-06-2025
- So all of a sudden Littler is just a kid and it’s unfair as the Media’s darling golden boy gets the grief, never a problem though was it while it was Gerwyn Price. Been saying this for ages that something needs doing about crowd behaviour but the PDC don’t really care as long as the pissed up punters flock to Premier League night. The worry for the PDC is that as Littler has gone beyond the darts fan base and is the most high profile player in the world there is the risk that he is bigger than the PDC and then others with more clout (government for example) may start telling them to clean up their act. Bazza, Eddie and Porter will hate that.Mysstree15-06-2025
- As much as it's disappointing that England lost,Peter Wright's speculation didn't help himself and Gary either. It is, however, another pointless tournament. So,like the football club world cup,it means absolutely nothingrick6714-06-2025
