Darts star Peter Wright has a funny plan to stop teen sensation Luke Littler in the Premier League Darts. He joked that he might take away Luke's phone so he can't play games before their match. Wright, who is a two-time world champion, will face Littler in the quarter-final on night four.
Wright hasn't played against Littler since the teenager's amazing performance at the World Darts Championship. He said he sees some of himself when he was younger in how Littler plays his matches.
Wright made a joke about beating Littler: "I'm going to take his phone off him in the backroom so he can't play games! It's all about myself, I'm not worried about anyone else at all, but hopefully this old boy can still do it against Luke."

He also said that when he was young and played against older pros, he wanted to beat them badly. Wright thinks that's how Littler feels now.
"It will be nice to play him - I've seen what he has done to all the other top pros, but he hasn't played me yet. Having said that, if I play like I did last week in Glasgow he will beat me easily!" Wright added.
After being inspired by 53-year-oldLittler and Luke Humphries at Alexandra Palace, Wright decided to throw away his trophies and darts and start anew. The 53 year old was surprisingly knocked out of the tournament in the second round by Jim Williams.
Wright realised that taking a break from the sport at the beginning of the year didn't work out as planned. "I watched the World Championship after I got knocked out, and Luke Littler and Luke Humphries inspired me
