"It has been an amazing tournament so far," Littler said. "I have just beaten what's in front of me and I am glad to get through. I have won plenty of titles leading up to this, that is what we do, we lead up to the big one, I can't wait for tomorrow night. If we both turn up like we did tonight, it's going to be really good. We all know he is hunting another title, but I'm hunting for my first."
Littler has been the favourite throughout the tournament and after a slow start he looks to be finding his best form at the right time. The way he demolished the former BDO world champion Bunting showed exactly why he has taken the world of darts by storm as he averaged over 105, threw 13 180s and took out three ton-plus finishes, including a 'big fish' 170.
Van Gerwen is facing a man in Van Gerwen who has his sights firmly set on a return to the winners' circle, six years after he was last there. The Dutchman, who last won at Alexandra Palace in 2019, put in a masterful performance against Dobey to earn a 6-1 win.
Standing in the way of Littler's destiny is the current record holder Michael van Gerwen, who was 24 when he won his first title, after the Dutchman saw off Chris Dobey in his last-four match. The final promises to be the hottest ticket in town as the two biggest names in the sport go head-to-head for the Sid Waddell Trophy.
