"With Luke Littler too short to support as a single in his clash with Stephen Bunting on Thursday night, instead look to the teenage sensation to pick up the win, alongside hitting the most 180s. Littler rubber-stamped top spot in the Premier League with a 6-3 win over Luke Humphries last Thursday, averaging a monstrous 115 in the process. That victory was Littler’s 24th across his 34 outings in this season’s Premier League, with three of those wins coming against bottom-of-the-table Stephen Bunting.

Moreover, Littler hit the most 180s in each of those three victories, not to mention he also won the 180 battle in the one game that he lost to the ‘Bullet’ back on Night 11. Given that both players are at opposite ends of both the Premier League table and the 180 leaderboard, Littler looks well worth siding with here in the match win and most 180s market."

"Luke Humphries looks well placed to come out on top on the 180 count when he takes on Rob Cross on Thursday night. A combined total of 14 180s were crashed in during Humphries’ 6-3 loss to Luke Littler in Aberdeen last Thursday, with ‘Cool Hand’ responsible for no fewer than 9 of those maximums. What’s more, the Newbury ace unfurled 5 180s when defeating Littler in the Night 14 final in Leeds two weeks ago. Having racked up 14 maximums across his last two outings, Humphries is now closing in on a century of 180s in this season’s Premier League.

While replicating last week’s remarkable 180 return of 9 in a single match will be a tall order in Sheffield, Humphries should have enough in his locker to outmax Cross. ‘Voltage’ could only muster up a solitary 180 when losing to Chris Dobey last week, leaving him rooted at the bottom of the Premier League 180 leaderboard with an overall return of 52 maximums this season."
