🧊 Gerwyn Price Gets Timely Confidence Boost Before Facing Luke Littler in Premier League Showdown
Gerwyn Price is heading into tonight’s big Premier League Darts clash against Luke Littler with a major boost — and not that the Welsh powerhouse even needed it.
The former world champion continued his red-hot run by clinching his second Players Championship title of the year on Wednesday, edging out Josh Rock 8–7 in a tense final. It’s a timely confidence injection ahead of his faceoff with Littler in Manchester.
“Josh played fantastic darts to come back, but luckily I got a big lead. I didn’t play great on the outside boards, but felt much more comfortable on the streaming boards,” said Price. “Winning tournaments gives you great confidence going forward.”
Silencing the Doubters
Price’s inclusion in the 2025 Premier League raised some eyebrows early on, but he’s since shut the critics up — sitting third in the standings and picking up two nightly wins already this season.
And it’s not just on the main stage where he’s thriving. His form on the floor has been just as impressive, dispatching big names like Ian White, Jonny Clayton, and world No. 13 Josh Rock to earn Wednesday’s title.
Dominance Over Littler
As if that wasn’t enough momentum, Price walks into tonight’s match with an unbeaten record against Luke Littler — having won their last six head-to-head encounters.
The 18-year-old world champ is all too aware.
“He knows how to beat me, clearly,” Littler admitted. “Of course, I want to win, but I’m not going up there with pressure in my head. I’ll just play my game.”
Littler’s Mission in Manchester
Littler returns to his home city aiming for redemption — and a shot at history. He’s eyeing a record-breaking fifth nightly win in the Premier League, hoping to widen the gap at the top of the table.
“I want to get that fifth win as quick as possible,” Littler said. “There’s still a long way to go, but I want to lock in a Finals Night spot early.”
High Stakes, Big Stage
The AO Arena in Manchester sets the stage tonight as two of the sport’s biggest names collide — one riding a winning streak, the other looking to break it.
With title implications, pride, and momentum all on the line, don’t be surprised if this turns into one of the most electric nights of the Premier League season.
