PHIL TAYLOR has broken down the blueprint that he believes is needed to topple Luke Littler.
The Nuke is one of the best at the oche at the moment and could become a legend of darts if he continues his current success.

Littler, 18, is the current world champion and has won multiple major honours since his stunning breakthrough in 2023.
The Warrington thrower is seen as one of the most destructive players at the oche for his sky-high averages.
The world No2 is the youngest player to ever claim the triple crown as he won the Premier League, World Matchplay and World Darts Championship.
But legend Taylor, 65, reckons he knows the secret to disrupting Littler’s flow, which his rivals should take note of.
The Power has insisted that Littler’s rivals need to “slow down” matches with Littler.
Taylor claims that due to young stars practising by themselves are not used to a slower-paced match.
He revealed the blueprint during an interview with the MODUS Super Series of Darts.
He said: “Yeah, a lot of that [throwing the darts quickly] comes because youngsters practice on their own.

“So, they don’t have that person slowing them down.
“I used to try and practice with somebody if I could to keep me in that rhythm of playing.
“So, that is why a lot when a player plays a younger player [like Littler], they start slowing them down to put them off because they are not used to it.
“Anybody who plays Luke Littler will slow their throw down.”
This year has been a success for Littler as he has already won the World Darts Championship, World Matchplay, Belgian Darts Open and UK Open among others.
Littler will be back in action at the Flanders Darts Trophy which begins TODAY.
He takes on Irish ace Dylan Slevin in round two on Sunday in the evening session.
