Luke Humphries believes he is heading into Finals Night playing the “best darts of his career” as he looks to defend his crown as Premier League champion.Humphries was languishing in seventh place in the table a month ago. But after making it into four weekly finals in a row, including winning Night 15 in Birmingham, he ensured he would be at the O2 to defend his title.
With such a run, Humphries statistically heads into Finals Night as the most in-form player amongst Luke Littler, Jonny Clayton, and Gerwyn Price.
Humphries takes on Clayton in the semi-finals as he looks to retain the Premier League trophy and after fighting tough, he believes he may have found a purple patch he would love to maintain since it includes some of the best darts he has ever thrown.
