Luke Littler looks unrecognisable in video game form as darts star prepares for Premier League clash

Littler has made no secret of his love for Xbox, with the teenager particularly fond of football game EA Sports FC.

The darts star, along with his girlfriend Eloise Milburn, have even live-streamed themselves playing the title.

Littler's favourite mode is Pro Clubs, which enables players to all line up in the same team online.

Up to 11 players are able to play at once in the online mode.

And Littler has now shared a hilarious image of his avatar, which looks nothing like the darts sensation.

He took to social media to share the snap, entitling it with the caption: "'Love a game of clubs."

Littler scored five goals and clocked up one assist during the match, with two of his team-mates also on target.

There had previously been rumours that Littler actually met his girlfriend playing the popular football game.

But both the darts star and Eloise have insisted that isn't the case.

Eloise wrote in January: "Just confirming we didn't meet on clubs."

And Littler, addressing the speculation, stated: "No. That was a weird story they made up.

"We met on the development tour in Leicester in August but became friends at the last [tournament] in Milton Keynes.”

Littler goes up against Smith tonight looking to continue his amazing form, with the teenager dreaming of Premier League glory.

Some have been so wowed by his talent and potential they think he's capable of eclipsing 16-time world champion Phil Taylor.

Littler can't see that happening, however, and believes talk of him one day gazumping the darts icon is 'crazy'.

“I don’t think anyone’s beating that record!" he honestly admitted.

"It’s just crazy, crazy to think of me being bigger than Phil.

“I’ve said to many people I’ve not really set any goals. I just get on with it. I just have to throw my darts and see where they go.

“I’m still gobsmacked that I’m here, getting all these opportunities. I’m just taking it in my stride as I do.”

As for Wright, the 53-year-old has mischievously said he'll look to 'unsettle' Littler by taking his phone away from him.

"I'm going to take his phone off him in the back room so he can't play games, that’ll unsettle him," he quipped.

He continued: "I didn't really go and ask advice or offer any other players when I was climbing up the ladder, like Luke.

"I just sat in a room on my own and watched the players to see what they did and don’t do, and just take little bits away from their game. There’s no point asking for advice if it doesn’t suit them.

"When I was at his age, when I used to go to an exhibition and play one of the pros, the attitude was like I've got to smash you up.

"That's what sort of attitude Luke's got, which makes it a great game anytime anyone plays him. I've seen what he's done to all the other top pros."
