Luke Littler's recent dominance of the darting world means that every time he loses, angels cry and wolves howl at the moon.

So imagine how the wolves and angels are feeling right now, because Luke Littler has lost twice in just two days ahead of his attempt to win three Premier League nights in a row this Thursday (April 3) in Berlin, Germany.

Given that one of the losses took place on April 1, you'd be forgiven for thinking this is some kind of April Fools joke, but I can assure you it almost certainly isn't.

Littler's first loss came against veteran Ian White in the third round of Players Championship 9, with White edging the current world champion 6-5 in a tight affair.

The Nuke's second defeat in as many days came against former World Championship semi-finalist Scott Williams, who overcame Littler 6-4 despite averaging more than 10 points fewer.

Obviously there's no reason to panic in camp Littler, and honestly all this has likely done is make him even more keen to silence any whispers and win his third Premier League night in a row.
