Luke Littler remains on course for a record-breaking seventh nightly win in the Premier League after thrashing Jonny Clayton 6-0 in the Birmingham quarter-final. The back-to-back world champion is on a hot streak, having won the last three events in Liverpool, Aberdeen, and Leeds.
Dominant Performance Secures Top Spot
Victory over the Welshman secured Littler’s top spot in the league table, guaranteeing him top seeding in the play-offs at the O2 in a fortnight. He dismantled Clayton in a quickfire quarter-final lasting just over 10 minutes, completing victory with an impressive 115 checkout.
Semi-Final Showdown with Humphries
Littler will meet familiar foe Luke Humphries in the semi-final after the defending champion also enjoyed a whitewash in his opening match, hammering Stephen Bunting 6-0 to enhance his hopes of finishing in the top four.
Other Results
- Gerwyn Price took a big step towards booking his place at the O2 on May 28 with a 6-4 win over Michael van Gerwen, whose fate will now be decided in next week’s final weekly round in Sheffield.
- Gian van Veen also kept his hopes alive with a 6-3 success over Josh Rock, who is already eliminated.
Littler's recent form has matched his own record of six nightly wins, and he now has a seventh in his sights as the Premier League heads towards its climax.
