Luke Littler has the darts remember so he just needs three holds from here and he's in his seventh final of the year.

He's down to 64 but can only take out 44. Luke Humphries can't take out 139, but does get it down to six to put the pressure on.

Littler can't hit double 10, going inside, but does pin double five for the hold.

Oh, wow! Remember this moment. Luke Littler has just bust when trying to take out 90.

He goes 20, treble 20 and needs double five but hits double 20.

He gets another go but goes inside on double 15.

Luke Humphries comes back and lands double 16 with his final dart to hold.

A scrappy start to the fifth leg before the scoring lifts from both players.

Luke Littler misses on double 15 and then needs three darts to tidy up the 30 but does so.

He gestures to the crowd that he wants a bit more noise. It is a little quiet in Manchester.

So often when these two play, it's dovetail darts. When one plays well, the other follows on.

Good from Luke Littler. He's back level.

He starts with a 180 and follows up with a 140 and then just stays in control.

He misses a first go at double 15 but lands it at the second attempt for a 12-dart leg.

Hello! The crowd are awake again as Luke Littler gets six darts into a perfect leg.

The noise levels rise as he returns to the oche. They rise again as he lands treble 20, and again when he hits another. He's high on double 12 though and seems to gesture something to the side distracted him.

He splits 24 and 12 but tidies up on double three.

Luke Humphries controls the second leg and knows he's got at least six darts on 121 with Littler back on 187.

He gets that down to 40 and then returns to pin double top.

That wasn't in the script. Five darts missed by Littler.

If you're just joining us Luke Humphries averaged 118.43 in his quarter-final. That is the third highest in Premier League history.

We're nowhere near that standard in the opening leg. Luke Littler misses five darts at double 10 - his favourite finish, what is going on?

Humphries also misses three at a double but cleans up with double three in the end.

A reminder that Luke Littler is seeking a record fifth night win of the season. That hasn't been achieved since this current format was introduced in 2022.

Will he set up a home v home final against Nathan Aspinall?

He's got the darts. Let's play.

Who will Nathan Aspinall face in the final? It's time to find out.

Luke Littler currently leads the Premier League by six points from Luke Humphries. Will he extend that advantage or will Humphries start to chip away at it?

The pair have met four times in the Premier League in 2025 with Littler winning on three occasions.

Nathan Aspinall averaged 101.31 compared to Michael van Gerwen's 85.59.

Aspinall finished with a checkout percentage of 37.5% - hitting six of 16.

MVG's was at 50% but he only had four cracks at a double.

That puts Nathan Aspinall into his third nightly final of the season. He's lost the previous two to Gerwyn Price in Dublin and Luke Littler in Brighton.

If he wins tonight he'll displace Michael van Gerwen in the play-off spots, but either way he's chipped a point off the deficit to the top four.

Van Gerwen's wait for a first nightly win stretches on too.

Tonight Nathan Aspinall has been on top from the word go. He is right in the hunt, he is climbing the table.

Michael van Gerwen just hasn't been able to put Nathan Aspinall under consistent pressure in this match.

He's once again back on 263 with Aspinall down on 40.

The Dutchman still doesn't leave a finish and that gives Aspinall at least six darts at a double. He only needs two, hitting double 10 for the win.

It looks like this is a struggle for Michael van Gerwen to be honest.

He's way back on 223, while Nathan Aspinall is on 51.

He finds 134 though and that puts Aspinall under pressure. He's struggling on his doubles all of a sudden as he goes inside on 16 and eight.

MVG needs bullseye to take the leg but can only find the outer bull and Aspinall tidies up to go three legs ahead again.

Michael van Gerwen used to win 70% of the events he took part in. Now he's struggling to win 50% of the matches he plays.

All the momentum is with Nathan Aspinall at the moment.

Michael van Gerwen isn't doing a great deal wrong but Nathan Aspinall gets a crack at 79.

He finds treble 19 but goes outside and then inside on double 11.

It allows MVG to come back and take out 27, finishing on double eight with his final dart.

Michael van Gerwen feels in control of the leg, but a 180 from Nathan Aspinall turns it on its head.

Van Gerwen can't take out 101 and Nathan Aspinall gets a go at 30.

It's a bit messy but he hits double four to restore his double-break and a three-leg lead.

A 180 from Michael van Gerwen draws him almost level with Nathan Aspinall after six darts.

A small visit from Aspinall opens the door for MVG but he can't take out 126.

It gives Aspinall a crack at 24 but he goes high twice and then on the inside. From nine from nine to nine from 12.

Van Gerwen returns to tidy up 68 with double tops, after going treble one to start the visit!
