00:00 I'm here in the great city of Manchester for another dramatic
00:05 darting night of Premier League action. The story after ten weeks,
00:10 well, there's been five out of the eight players who have walked away
00:14 with a nightly win. Luke Littler most recently with his win in
00:18 Belfast. Whilst it's a tough reading for Rob Cross, Gowen Price and
00:23 Peter Wright, who have all failed to win a night so far. With the
00:28 table still tighter than ever at the top, there are still chances
00:31 for all eight to reach the finals at the O2. Luke Littler says
00:35 Manchester is the night he's been most looking forward to playing
00:38 as he'll be backed by a whole host of home fans who will be hoping
00:43 for the 17-year-old to get his second night win of the season.
00:48 Making five of the last six finals after starting this season,
00:52 losing his first game on three Premier League nights. Local lad
00:56 Nathan Aspinall is a man in red hot form. He asked Spoke on how
01:01 special it was hearing the Manchester crowd in full voice and
01:04 made a fairly interesting statement on Luke Littler's impact on
01:08 the sport. You know, you guys travel with us doing the media and
01:13 you know, I try and explain it to fans or to my family and you
01:17 cannot explain that feeling and I've got this weird little thing
01:20 now where I point to myself when they say Mr Brightside, cringe,
01:24 but that's the guy doing it on the stage, them all shouting back at it,
01:28 it's mega. He's not a dart player, he's a celebrity. I'm a dart player,
01:33 he's a celebrity, that's the difference. But what he's doing,
01:37 because he's a celebrity, he's projecting dart to a whole new level.
01:42 Gowen Price is no stranger to a nine-dart leg in the Premier League.
01:49 The Welshman decided to turn on the heat in his semi-final against
01:53 Michael Smith to book his place in the showstopper where he'd meet Luke Littler.
01:58 As he's done so far in his short but outstanding career, the teenager
02:16 brushed off any pressure and venting his frustration over his team
02:20 Manchester United throwing away their lead against Chelsea,
02:23 the nuke made it back-to-back night wins in his hometown.
02:27 In terms of Liverpool coming up in a few weeks, you are quite clearly
02:39 a Red and Man United fan. Are you going to be ready for the reception
02:43 you might get there? I've been waiting since we beat them in the FA Cup.
02:48 If we do win then I will silence them, but I'll just do it until.
02:53 I won't do anything if we win, and if we don't win then it will be
02:57 for good Dr Kezi.
