Littler focused on Price before thoughts of Premier League trilogy with Humphries

While the darting world are looking towards the potential of another Luke Littler and Luke Humphries Premier League final, the world No 1's thoughts have not moved to that just yet.

​​​​​​Humphries and Littler head to London's O2 arena facing Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price respectively in their semi-finals for the chance to face each other once again.

Littler took glory in their 2024 Premier League final bout, famously hitting a nine-darter, with Humphries getting revenge in 2025.

While the world's top two are used to meeting each other in finals, Littler is not taking for granted the Welshman in his way.

Indeed, he admitted he would have actually preferred to face Humphries in the semis.

"Most important for myself is just making the final. Making three consecutive finals would mean everything to me," Littler said.

"I am focused on winning that semi-final and getting to another final.

"Hopefully if I get past Gez (Price) I will have a break, get to watch the other semi-final.

"It would be good (to face Luke Humphries) in the final'. I think everyone is probably bored of me and Luke meeting in finals, but we are one and two so we are going to meet in finals."

"I would have rather faced Luke [Humphries] in the semis," Littler added to Sky Sports.

"Obviously, if I beat him last week in the semi-final, then I would have played him tomorrow night. but it is what it is."

Littler has won his last eight meetings with Price, a statistic that should make Littler the clear favourite.

'The Nuke', however, does not think that will affect 'The Iceman'.

"I don't think it will be in the back of his mind," he added.

"Tomorrow isn't necessarily fresh but it is a semi-final.

"I expect the best from him. I play well against him all the time and he plays well against me."

It has been well documented that Humphries heads into Finals Night as the most in-form player, making it to the last four finals in the Premier League in a row.

But does that make him the best player in the world at this current moment? Not according to Littler who is looking to make it 17 semi-finals in a row that he has won.

"I didn't know about that record (on the semi-finals) but now I do, it is a boost," Littler said.

"It would mean everything to get this trophy back. It was my first major win and hopefully I can get that trophy back.
