Darts legend Dennis Priestley reckons Luke Littler will not win his first World Championship crown tonight - but says the youngster could still become a 10-time world champion in the future.

Priestley told Genting Casino: "We’re all looking to see if he can improve and that will happen if the people around him don’t allow him to get distracted. Looking at his age, he will get better and he doesn’t have to get much better to be the best in the world.
