Luke Littler has set his sights on the top spot in Premier League Darts, as the 17-year-old arrives in Aberdeen five points clear of his closest challenger, Luke Humphries. Littler celebrated his third nightly victory of the season in Liverpool before capping off a memorable few days with his second European Tour title at last weekend’s Austrian Darts Open. With five points separating him from Humphries, Littler declared, “Top spot is my target now.” He faces Nathan Aspinall in the quarters this week, an opponent he has beaten in five of six meetings in 2024. “It would mean everything to finish top [of the table], but I’m just really happy to be where I am now, five points clear.” Peter Wright, the solitary Scottish representative in this year’s eight-player field, is determined to give his Scottish supporters something to cheer about when he competes in Aberdeen on Thursday. Wright is mathematically out of contention for a top-four finish but may still have a significant say on the Play-Off picture. He will take on Michael Smith in Thursday’s opening quarter-final, with Smith currently four points adrift of fourth-placed Michael van Gerwen.
