Littler blew away Ryan Meikle in a 3-1 win in the second round before Christmas, hitting a tournament record 140.91 set average along the way, and went within millimetres of a nine-darter when he missed double 12.
Teenage sensation Littler and defending champion Humphries are on the same side of the draw this year at Ally Pally and could yet meet in the semi-finals.
