Littler made history last week by winning a record 5th Premier League Night. But can he do it in Luke Humphries' beloved Leeds? He just might, with a favourable route to the final.
The Premier League Darts Night 14 is set to be a cracker. The Nuke is on a record-breaking run, and the bookies back him to make it six.

Premier League Darts Quarter Final
The quarter finals are set, and the bracket is pretty favourable to Littler. The bookies would agree. Here’s what bet365 thinks:
| Match | 1 | 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Rob Cross vs Gerwyn Price | 13/10 | 61/100 |
| Nathan Aspinall vs Luke Littler | 11/4 | 7/25 |
| Michael van Gerwen vs Luke Humphries | 34/25 | 57/100 |
| Stephen Bunting vs Chris Dobey | 4/5 | 1/1 |
Aspinall vs Littler: Littler’s run starts off against Aspinall. Across two seasons in the Premier League, they’ve played 10 times. Littler has won 9. Littler, on his game, will dispatch him easily.
Van Gerwen vs Humphries: The match of the round is Michael van Gerwen vs Luke Humphries. Van Gerwen is yet to win a round but has made 2 finals. Humphries has made 6 finals, winning 2. He’s the rightful favourite.
Cross vs Price: Price has won 3 Nights, and Cross has won none, that’s the second most after Littler. It may be a closer match than we think, the Pair have met 3 times, and Cross has won twice.
Bunting vs Dobey: Placed in 8th and 7th respectively, neither has set the tournament alight, but they both won a night each. They faced in the Night 11 final, Dobby came out on top, but we're backing Bunting to get revenge.
Here are a few interesting markets from bet365 for each match.

Whoever wins between Humphries and Van Gerwen will be heavy favourites to reach the final. As it stands, Luke Humphries is favoured, priced at 33/50 with bet365.
Premier League Darts Final
We’re predicting a Littler vs Humphries final. We’ve already seen this three times, and Littler has won twice.
Humphries is a Leeds fan, so he’ll get more support, and he did win last season’s Premier League Night in Leeds. That being said, Littler is on too much of a high, and we still back him to win it.
