Warrington darts ace Luke Littler will be hoping to continue his fine form in the Premier League in Dublin tomorrow (Feb 20) as he faces Gerwyn Price.
His run last week included an impressive fightback against Rob Cross in the first quarter-final, overturning a 5-1 deficit to win 6-5.
He then swept aside Michael Van Gerwen in the semi-finals to set up a tie against Luke Humphries in which he won 6-5.
Littler spoke to onlinedarts.com looking ahead to Dublin: “I’m full of confidence, obviously us as players we just want to build from whatever you do on the last week, and If I do go and win it again that’s good.
“But you’ve always got to focus on that first game and guarantee yourself some points.”
He also commented on the crowd behaviour in Glasgow.
“There was a few in particular who were doing it when Luke (Humphries) was throwing and then when Kirk (Bevins) told them to be quiet it got even worse.
“Then I missed doubles, Luke breaks at 5-4 and just like Kirk, you’ve made it worse for me there.”
Meanwhile, Liverpudlian Stephen Bunting will look to win his first game of the campaign after a tough first two weeks.
His task doesn’t get any easier as he faces World Number 1 Luke Humphries.
Rob Cross takes on Nathan Aspinall, while Michael Van Gerwen plays Chris Dobey to complete the quarter final line-up.
