I’m hoping they’re going to bring that on Thursday night and, you know, give me loads of support and I can sort of flourish on it and play well.” First up for Humphries will be Michael van Gerwen in the quarter-finals. “It’s not an easy game for myself,” he added. “I’ve got a great winning record against him, but he’s under a lot of pressure because he’s fighting out for that fourth spot at the moment. “I’m looking pretty decent for the O2 (finals) already. The only pressure on my shoulders will be the fact that obviously I want to do well in Leeds. “But winning that first game is pivotal for me because I just want to give the fans something to cheer about.” Luke Littler is the betting favourite to win the night, though, fresh off his victory in Birmingham last week. Humphries has virtually qualified for the Premier League finalGetty The 18-year-old became the first player to win five nights in a Premier League season and confirmed his place in the play-offs at the end of the month.
