He has changed his throw over the past few weeks too, pausing before releasing, showing immense courage to do that on the biggest stage but it is paying dividends.
He started the final against Aspinall, who was in his fourth final of the year, with a superb 136 checkout in the opening leg.
Stockport-born Aspinall, who won night five in Exeter, broke in leg three, but Littler got the game back on throw with an outrageous bullseye, 25, bullseye finish in leg six.
He broke again in leg eight, but Aspinall broke straight back and a decider seemed certain.
Littler missed match darts in the 10th leg but was able to come back and tidy up for the win after Aspinall failed to take out 113.
For Littler this was further progress and he is consistently beating the best players in the world, with his record against Humphries, who was seeking a record-breaking fourth successive nightly win, now at 4-0 since his World final defeat.
He is also 3-3 against Van Gerwen, who has won the Premier League a record seven times.
