It is Premier League Finals night and Littler and Humphries finish first and second in the table for the season heading into the huge event.
In the semi-finals, Littler defeats Michael Smith 10-5 and then Humphries beat Michael van Gerwen 10-5 to set up another thrilling repeat of the Worlds final.
Littler then lifts the roof off the O2 Arena as he takes out a nine-darter in the 11th leg of the final, the 17-year-old writing his name into the history books once again alongside Phil Taylor by finding the perfect leg on the biggest stage.
That helps him clinch an 11-7 victory over Humphries, finding sheer brilliance to beat the man he now battles for titles all the time.
Humphries was magnanimous in defeat and enjoyed another great battle against his namesake, confident in the fact that they are the best two players in the world.
They were the two best players in the world who were both competing in the Premier League for the first time.
“I was trying to stick in there but there was a big breeze coming through the stage all evening, which is so hard to deal with. That’s credit to Luke. He managed it so well all night,” Humphries said.
“After the break he played much better. He’s a fantastic player, he really is.
“Me and Luke are the two greatest players in the world right now. I love playing him and we’re going to have a lot of battles in the future.
“If you look at the season as a whole he deserves to win the Premier League.”
