Littler Wins in Liverpool to Cut Clayton's Lead to Four Points

Review

Luke Littler claimed his fourth Premier League night win of 2026, defeating table-leader Jonny Clayton 6–1 in the final at M&S Bank Arena. Littler averaged 104.54 in the decider and overcame a remarkable Michael van Gerwen performance in the semi-final — the Dutchman hit nine 180s and averaged 107.54 but still fell 6–5 in one of the highest-quality semi-finals of the season. Clayton had survived a 6–5 thriller against Gian van Veen but had no answer to Littler in the final. The gap between Clayton and Littler at the top is now four points with five nights remaining.
