Luke Littler wasn't half made to sweat by Peter Wright on Friday night, but 'The Nuke' showcased everything he has within his armoury as he survived a scare to see off the two-time champion of the world.

It was a belting game where both players were right at the top of their games - Luke just had that extra gear in the end which just about managed to get him over the line.

I feel the closeness of that match will stand him in good stead for the rest of the weekend, and whilst Jermaine Wattimena is a superb player in his own right, I just don't see him keeping the man of the moment at bay.

I expect Jermaine to take at least six legs given the quality he possesses, but I do envisage Luke having too much in his locker to see the job through, 10-6 or 10-7.

Both players are adept on the treble 20 bed - we saw Luke shatter the Premier League record the other night when he hit 10 in a single game, and I fully expect them to rain in once more on Saturday.

I'm taking 14 or more maximums between the pair, which packages up, together with my other two selections, as a really appealing 9/2 Bet Builder.

I'd also be tempted to give the 11/2 price for a 10-6 victory a good look at too.
