Luke Littler vs Mensur Suljovic prediction
Luke Littler overcame a sluggish start to see off Welsh qualifier David Davies in the second round, and it is a testament to the world number one's talent that he can average 97.15 and still be well below his best.
The reigning world champion is yet to hit top gear in this event, despite winning all six sets that he has played, and that is an ominous sign for those looking to prize the Sid Waddell Trophy from his grasp.
Littler next takes on Mensur Suljovic, in what will be the first ever PDC Tour meeting between the two players. He will know all about the Austrian's slow play though, with that coming under plenty of scrutiny after he defeated a frustrated Joe Cullen in the second round.
Suljovic will not change his style here and will use any advantage he can get, but Littler should prove to be better at dealing with the pace than Cullen did. To add some value, consider backing Littler to hit the most 180s in addition to the biggest checkout.
