Luke Littler, with two rounds of play ahead of him, is already certain to participate in the Premier League Darts playoffs. On Thursday night, he will play against Rob Cross in the playing city of Leeds.
Littler already managed to capture four weekly titles in the Premier League this season. 'The Nuke' can become the first player ever to have won five weekly titles in the regular league.
“I know over the next two weeks the record [for nightly wins] is there to be broken, but whatever happens, I’m still going to the O2 This is what I dreamed of when I was growing up and watching the Premier League every Thursday," said Littler to PDC.
The 17-year-old Englishman has already achieved his goal in the Premier League. ''Making the Play-Offs was my aim coming into the Premier League, so to have achieved that with two weeks to spare is a great achievement.
Littler needs three more points in the next two rounds of play to secure first place in the regular league. ''I'm really happy with the way my darts are going. In the first few weeks [of the Premier League] I was fourth or fifth, but now I’ve been top for quite a few weeks, and hopefully I can stay there!" Littler said.
