Josh Rock 
Luke Littler Luke Littler against Josh Rock in the Night 13 quarter-final, and the Premier League standings tell most of the story before a dart has been thrown. Littler sits second in the table with 32 points from 24 played. Rock is eighth with 8 points from 16. This is a significant gulf in class and form, and the market reflects it accordingly.
Josh Rock
Rock is a genuine talent. Five PDC titles, two nine-darters, and a game built on explosive scoring power. When he’s firing, he can beat anyone in this field on a given night. The problem is that 2026 Premier League campaign. Four wins from sixteen played, sitting eighth in the standings, is a return that doesn’t belong anywhere near where Rock’s ceiling should be. He hasn’t been consistent enough week to week, and the knockout format here gives him no margin for a slow start. He needs to be at his sharpest from the off against the world number one.
Luke Littler
World number one. World Champion. Ten PDC titles and still only getting started. His 2026 Premier League season has been exceptional, second in the table and on a current run of form that reads W L W W W. That’s not a player drifting through the mid-season stretch, that’s someone who still looks hungry for every night. There was a line this week about Littler “chasing” whoever sits above him in the standings, which tells you plenty about his mentality. He’s not coasting on reputation. He’s competing hard every single week.
Betting Verdict
Littler at 1.29 is a short price, and there’s no point pretending otherwise. But short prices exist for a reason, and this one is justified by the gap between where these two players are right now in this competition. Rock at 3.75 has the kind of ceiling that could produce an upset, but his Premier League season gives you very little evidence to back him doing it against the form player in the draw. Littler’s scoring power, composure in knockout formats, and sheer consistency this season make him a solid favourite regardless of the odds. The value play is simply that 1.29 understates how dominant he has been in 2026, and Rock’s record doesn’t suggest he’s suddenly found another gear.
Luke Littler to Win
1.29
Littler is the form player in this tournament by a country mile, and Rock’s Premier League campaign gives little reason for confidence. Yes, 1.29 is short, but when the class and form gap is this wide in a knockout format, backing the favourite is the disciplined call. Take Littler.
