On paper there is little to play for in this match, outside of prize money. But in reality this is a chance to lay down a big marker for next week's finals.

Littler can consolidate his break with 114 here... just shy of tops. But Humphries is well back, so with D10 the teenager is already two legs to the good.

A slightly iffy start by Littler, two double figures visits to start. He's back on track with a 140 and 180, but Humphries is on a finish first.

Humphries needs Shanghai... just misses the tops. So Littler can break with 51 - made!

A sporting rivalry in what could be a dress rehearsal for the grand final itself at the O2 next week. The two best players in the world play out the final of our last league night.

In their seven previous meetings in this Premier League, Littler has won 37 legs to Humphries' 31. Not much between them.

Humphries to throw first in this final.

It's been a great atmosphere in Sheffield tonight. Emma went to university in the city so has experienced the arena a few times, always a great venue.

Nothing compared to a Sheffield Steelers match, mind you.

Time for the walk-ons in Sheffield.

The crowd seem to have finally taken to I Predict A Riot by Leeds band Kaizer Chiefs - the preferred tune of Luke Humphries - having heard it thrice this evening.

Let's get those thumbs working.

Thumbs up on this post if you think Littler will win this match, thumbs down if you're backing Humphries.

This is the eighth time the Lukes have met in the Premier League this season.

Littler leads this mini-series 4-3.

The final will be underway in around 10 minutes' time.

Grab yourself a cup of tea/coffee/Horlicks/whiskey, and settle in for what should be a cracker.

This will be Luke Littler's ninth final from 16 Premier League events this season. For Luke Humphries, it is his eighth in 2025.

No question that this will be a clash between the two best players in this competition, and in the world.

Earlier, we had confirmation of the top four at the end of the league phase...

1. Luke Littler
2. Luke Humphries
3. Nathan Aspinall
4. Gerwyn Price

And that means the play-off semi-finals next week will be...

Luke Littler v Gerwyn Price

Luke Humphries v Nathan Aspinall

One dart at D20 is all Luke Humphries needs.

The final tonight will be the clash of the top two, a battle of the Lukes. Littler v Humphries.

We could not ask for a better way to round off the league phase.

Luke Humphries throws the fifth 180 of this match, then sets up tops with Dobey in the 300s...

Dobey won six successive legs tonight, then lost four on the bounce. Can he form another streak here?

Humphries will want to stamp out that nonsense, he needs 128 to break again. Can't find it.

So Dobey requires 85... but two misses at D14 could be huge.

Humphries punishes Dobey, and is one leg from the final.

Four legs won in a row by Humphries, Dobey will need another big comeback here.

He does get to a finish first in leg six, 130. Not made.

Humphries needs 116, T20 then single 16... but too high on tops.

And Dobey makes the D20 he needs, and that's one break wiped away.

Another 180 from Dobey to start leg five, the crowd briefly hope for a nine-darter. Not this time.

And the Geordie can't find a checkout of just 25, punished by Humphries. Double-break secured.

Luke Humphries is playing like someone who is using this to fine-tune his game ahead of next week.

Chris Dobey finds his first 180 of the match, his ninth of the night, and his 700th in the Premier League this season.

Luke Humphries then goes millimetres from a 170 checkout, then sees out the leg on his follow-up visit.

Luke Humphries throws the first 180 of this match. First of many?

He needs 86 to check out, and finishes it off on the bull. That's a break.
