Luke Littler and Luke Humphries will meet on Thursday evening in the Premier League Darts. The world champion is looking forward to the giant duel in Nottingham.
“I was always convinced of my skills,” Luke Littler told “Sky Sports” in advance: “Just as my darts run at the moment, it is probably the best thing I have ever played.”
Because of this, he could “find these additional corridors and help me out of your trouble when it is necessary,” said the 18-year-old.
Littler won the last Premier League matchday in Brighton. The reigning darts world champion is currently in the table with 13 points behind Luke Humphries (15), who has also won two evenings in the elite league.
“At the beginning of the year I said that I am still world champion even if I don’t win anything all year round. At the moment I just enjoy my darts,” Littler looked at his current top form.
“The Nuke” had recently triumphed at the UK Open. Littler already won his fifth major title in the seventh finale.
Darts: Luke Humphries “in a good position”
Now the young Englishman is challenged in the Premier League of Humphries. “Cool Hand Luke” caused a sensation last week with a 9-darter.
“I was really happy to play the 9-Darter last week, but Rob [Cross] played a fantastic game and beat me, “said Humphries at” Sky Sports “. He was” in a good position, but I still have to work hard to win these victories, “said the world champion of 2024.
Humphries meets Littler in Nottingham. The English initially played against Michael van Gerwen in Cardiff in Cardiff. “It’s getting hard, but I know that I have what it takes to beat them both. Hopefully I can get a few points this week and stay at the top of the table,” said Humphries.
