Luke Littler is back at Alexandra Palace tonight to continue his quest to win a first World Darts Championship title.
Littler blew away Ryan Meikle in a 3-1 win in the second round before Christmas, hitting a tournament record 140.91 set average along the way, and went within millimetres of a nine-darter when he missed double 12.
‘The Nuke’ lost in last year’s final to Luke Humphries, who beat Nick Kenny 4-0 on Friday night, but all the signs are that he is better-equipped to go one better and claim the crown this time.
Teenage sensation Littler and defending champion Humphries are on the same side of the draw this year at Ally Pally and could yet meet in the semi-finals.
Here’s everything you need to know about Littler’s next match at Alexandra Palace…
