January 1st 2025.
Tonight, Luke Littler will once again take to the stage at the PDC World Darts Championship, hoping to secure a place in the semi-finals at Ally Pally. After his impressive debut last year, the young sensation arrived as the favorite to win this time around. With wins against Ryan Meikle and Ian White, Littler faced a tough match against World No.33 Ryan Joyce, but managed to come out on top in a thrilling last-set decider, securing his spot in the quarter-finals. And with defending champion Luke Humphries shockingly eliminated on Sunday, Littler's chances of becoming the youngest-ever world champion have significantly increased.
So, what can we expect from Littler's upcoming match against Nathan Aspinall tonight? Well, for starters, it's set to be a highly anticipated showdown between the two talented players. Aspinall, who has reached the semi-finals twice before at Ally Pally, has been showing glimpses of his best darts after a season plagued by injuries. But Littler, who will be making his return to the PDC World Darts Championship stage, is determined to give it his all and secure a spot in the semi-finals.
As for the match details, Littler will be headlining the evening session and is expected to take the stage around 8:40pm GMT, following the conclusion of the Stephen Bunting vs Peter Wright match. While the exact start time may vary depending on the duration of the previous match, viewers can tune in to Sky Sports or Sky Go to catch all the action from Alexandra Palace.
If Littler manages to defeat Aspinall, he will advance to the semi-finals and face the winner of the Bunting vs Wright match. And if he wins that semi-final, he will secure a spot in his second consecutive final, where he could potentially face players like Chris Dobey, Gerwyn Price, Michael van Gerwen, or Callan Rydz. However, Littler is not looking too far ahead and is solely focused on his upcoming match against Aspinall.
In an interview, Littler expressed his excitement for the match and acknowledged Aspinall as a formidable opponent. "I am expecting him to play very well," he said, "we have played each other many times, we know how each other can play, but it's the quarter-finals of the World Championship so may the best man win on the day."
For those interested in watching Littler's match on TV, Sky Sports will be broadcasting all the action from the PDC World Darts Championship, starting from December 15 until the final on January 3. Additionally, viewers can also tune in online via Sky Go.
