Overview

  • Luke Littler enters Finals Night as odds-on favourite after topping the table with a record 45 points, six nightly wins and 27 match victories.
  • The 18-year-old defends his crown against Gerwyn Price, who has won six of their last eight meetings and even worked a shift at his Markham chippy to prepare.
  • World number one Luke Humphries meets Nathan Aspinall in the other semi-final, aiming to shake off expectations by focusing on enjoyment over pressure.
  • Underdog Nathan Aspinall makes his first O2 Arena appearance and believes consistent high-level play can fuel an upset in the best-of-19-leg semi-final.
  • Littler dismissed talk of early retirement, declaring he plans to compete for the next decade if he can match the longevity of legends like Phil Taylor.
