Luke Littler will continue the defence of his PDC Premier League title in Dublin's 3Arena on Thursday night.

The 17-year-old reigning champion will face Gerwyn Price in the quarter-finals.

Michael van Gerwen goes up against Chris Dobey, Rob Cross faces Nathan Aspinall and Luke Humphries will take on Stephen Bunting.

Littler defeated Rob Cross, Michael van Gerwen, and Luke Humphries in Glasgow last week, registering a five-point haul while opening his 2025 account.

The teenage phenomenon currently trails league leader Humphries by three points heading into night three tonight.

Littler recovered from 5-1 down to beat Cross, and came out on top against Humphries in another last-leg shoot-out to maintain his 100 per cent Premier League record against the world number one.

Littler heads into tonight's match up with Gerwyn Price on the back foot, as Price has won the pair’s last four meetings - including wins at last month’s Bahrain Darts Masters and a clash on the PDC ProTour earlier in February.

However, PDC said Littler heads to the 3Arena in a confident mood. He said he is looking forward to playing in front of the Dublin crowd again.

The 17-year-old from Warrington created history in January by crushing three-time winner Michael van Gerwen to clinch the 2025 World Championship – becoming the youngest person to lift the title.
