Luke Littler’s darts rival vows to ‘smash’ him after gaining advantage over teenager
Luke Littler has been sent an ominous warning as the Premier League Darts heads to Brighton.
Luke Littler is preparing for a tough Premier League Darts battle.
Luke Littler has been warned that Nathan Aspinall will “smash” him in their Premier League Darts night six match in Brighton on Thursday. Aspinall is Littler’s practice partner and also won the previous week in Exeter, ensuring he is full of confidence when the two go head-to-head at the oche.

Aspinall did not win a single match in his first three weeks of the Premier League, before reaching the final in Newcastle and backing up that success by storming to victory in Exeter. He defeated three world champions in Peter Wright, Luke Humphries and Rob Cross, proving he very much belongs on the sport’s biggest stage.
Now his attention has turned to Thursday night when Aspinall gets his Premier League night six underway against Littler. The 17-year-old hit a nine-darter last time they met at the Bahrain Masters, but Aspinall is out for revenge.
He has been full of praise for the teenager and credited him for darts’ booming popularity, but wants to “batter” Littler and Aspinall believes that he has an advantage over his Brighton opponent due to their record against each other in training.

Nathan Aspinall has vowed to “smash” Luke Littler in their Premier League meeting.
“Forget how good Luke is at darts, the sport is now global because of him,” Aspinall told SportsBoom.com. “Rest assured I’m going to smash him in Brighton. I keep telling Luke, the next time we meet on that stage, I’m going to batter him.
“He also knows what I can do. We train together regularly, and he’s never beaten me in practice. He hit that fantastic nine against me in Bahrain, but it’ll be a different story in Brighton. I’ve gone back-to-back finals and won in Exeter. I’m full of confidence and you can see that with how I’m playing. I want to be here; I want to be playing the big players every week.”
