In the showpiece event, Clayton thrashed Humphries 6-1 to claim victory in Nottingham.
Clayton is now top of the table with 19 points, eight clear of Littler in second place.
Speaking after the match, Clayton revealed that he was limping due to suffering from gout in his ankle.
He said: "I do get flare-ups, so obviously I take medication every day.
"Funnily enough, it was in my elbow in my first year in the Premier League. So it's moved now to my ankle. But I have to carry on. I don't want to miss these nights."
Clayton continued: "You just take your medication. I could go back to bed tonight, wake up tomorrow as if there's nothing there. It is weird, proper weird.
"When it comes on, it gives you a warning and if you don't catch it in time, then you know all about it. And obviously I know all about it now."
Reacting to having an eight point gap at the top of the table, Clayton said: "Everybody is nicking points off everybody, I wasn't expecting to be top, eight points [clear], so I'm over the moon with that.
Looking ahead, Premier League Darts will return next Thursday night, with the action taking place inside the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.
