    Result: Luke Littler 6-3 Gerwyn Price

    Littler averaged just over 100 in that final and never showed any signs of letting his foot off the gas, even in legs he was not doing as well in.

    He's now top of the Premier League table after night 10.

    Let's have a look at that table.

    Luke Littler 6-3 Gerwyn Price

    Luke Littler wins night 10 in Manchester!

    Clever from Littler, he won that one with one dart at tops, but set himself up the throw before with a clever 97, going treble 19 then tops to put himself in the frame.

    Credit to Price, who was excellent throughout the night, but could not carry on his efforts from the quarter-final and semi-final wins.

    Littler is now top of the table by a point!

  8. Price holds his throwpublished at 22:40 British Summer Time 4 April

    Luke Littler 5-3 Gerwyn Price

    Price isn't going out just yet.

    A leg won on his throw cuts the lead to two, but the next leg is on Littler's throw.

    One dart at tops did the job there for the Iceman.

  9. Littler closing inpublished at 22:38 British Summer Time 4 April

    Luke Littler 5-2 Gerwyn Price

    Littler is one leg away from back-to-back night wins.

    Price is hardly playing badly, but that leg rained maximums from both men.

    Littler is looking so comfortable, despite struggles at times tonight on the whole.

    The teenager won that leg with a double five checkout.

  10. Price surives Littler pressurepublished at 22:36 British Summer Time 4 April

    Luke Littler 4-2 Gerwyn Price

    Very clever from Littler.

    He knew Price had three darts on 40 and stuck on 165, threw a brilliantly constructed 133 to put the pressure on.

    Price takes out 40, going 20, 10, double five, but knew the pressure was on.

  11. Littler on toppublished at 22:34 British Summer Time 4 April

    Luke Littler 4-1 Gerwyn Price

    Littler shrugs off not going 4-0 ahead by taking complete control in leg five.

    The Nuke has given himself three darts at tops to go 4-1 up. The teenager only needs one dart to take it out.

    He goes 4-1 up and is cruising.

    John Part
    Former PDC world champion on Sky Sports

    Gerwyn Price has to find some of that magic stuff he's had tonight and turn this back round.

  13. Price wins his first of the matchpublished at 22:33 British Summer Time 4 April

    Luke Littler 3-1 Gerwyn Price

    Price had to turn up at some point in this final and does so with a maximum to leave himself three darts on a 28 checkout.

    He fires one dart straight into double 14 to win the fourth leg on his throw.

    Better from the Iceman. 3-1.

  14. Littler goes three clearpublished at 22:32 British Summer Time 4 April

    Luke Littler 3-0 Gerwyn Price

    We've not seen the best of Luke Littler on the whole tonight but he seems to have saved his best work for the final.

    Despite a couple of lower-scoring visits, The Nuke still controls the third leg to a point.

    Price comes close to a 93 checkout to break, but misses out on double 10.

    Littler finds double 10 himself on 20 to go 3-0 ahead.

  16. Littler breaks Price's throwpublished at 22:29 British Summer Time 4 April

    Luke Littler 2-0 Gerwyn Price

    The first leg on Gerwyn Price's throw is solid, but he knows Luke Littler is on his back.

    On a 100 checkout, Price went for 20, tops, tops, but was unable to make it count with the second dart going over.

    Littler is clinical on double 16 and takes the second leg.

    Littler 1-0 Price

    Wayne Mardle
    Former World Championship semi-finalist on Sky Sports

  18. Littler wins the first legpublished at 22:28 British Summer Time 4 April

    Luke Littler 1-0 Gerwyn Price

    It is a sensational start from Luke Littler.

    He hits six perfect darts to start, a 177 and then a 180.

    Dart seven goes into treble five, but he ends it leaving himself 24 to win.

    However, Littler then misses three match darts on doubles 12 and six.

    Littler does however return unchallenged to take out double three and win the first leg.

  19. The final is underway!published at 22:26 British Summer Time 4 April

    Luke Littler 0-0 Gerwyn Price

    Nice atmosphere brewing for this final at the AO Arena.

    A win for Littler moves him top of the table.

    Meanwhile, a first night win of the year for Price would move up to sixth in the standings.

    Littler to throw first, game on!

    Luke Littler v Gerwyn Price

    It's now time for the final between Luke "The Nuke" Littler and "The Iceman" Gerwyn Price.

    On form, you would have to make Littler the favourite, but on tonight's showing, Price has been flawless and hit a nine-darter in the semi-finals.

    It should be a cracker in Manchester!
