LITTLER AIMS TO BREAK PREM NIGHTLY WIN RECORD

By Aaron Nijjar 

LUKE LITTLER is aiming to break the nightly win record in the Premier League on Night Ten in Manchester.  

‘The Nuke’ has dominated the tournament this year sitting top of the table on 26 points – six points ahead of world number one Luke Humphries, who is currently in second.  

World Champion Littler has picked up nightly wins with ease, with his last win on Night Eight in Newcastle adding to his Night Two triumph in Glasgow, Night Five success in Brighton and Night Seven victory in Cardiff. 

A nightly win in his home city would take Littler to a record FIVE wins in a singular season, one more than he got in his debut year in 2024 – with six weeks remaining.  

He said: “I’m obviously looking to try and go back-to-back in Manchester, but for myself, try and get that fifth nightly win, break the record.  

“I know there’s loads of weeks to go, but I want to try and get it done as quick as possible. I just want to try and just keep that six-point gap or even try and extend on it to number two in the table.  

“I think the past however many years, the format’s been this one now, I think 26 has got you in to Finals Night.

“But the position I’m in, for myself I want the number one, I want to break the nightly win record. So at the minute I’m still motivated to try and obviously get the win and try and keep top spot. 

“It’s a personal milestone but it’ll also go down in the Premier League history for night wins. Obviously I had the 180 stat as well, that’s been huge for the start of this year and my power scoring’s good.” 

Although, Littler is up against old foe Gerwyn Price in the quarter-final.  

Teen sensation Littler has not yet beaten Price in the 2025 Premier League and the Welshman has got the better of the world No. 2 in their last six meetings. 

Seven-time major winner Price also claimed victory in the final of Players Championship 12 after Littler had bowed out in the last 16.
