Twelve months ago, Littler lost an epic contest to Luke Humphries and came up agonizingly short in his first world final – now the Nuke is determined to go one better. The 17-year-old Premier League and Masters champion powered into his second final in as many attempts with a 6-1 destruction of Stephen Bunting with a percussive display of heavy scoring and clutch finishing. Averaging over 105, Littler looked near unbeatable but if he's to become darts' next crossover star, he has to win tonight. Double hitting holds the key.
The Englishman's opponent Van Gerwen is trying to do more than win a fourth world title – victory for the Dutchman would ensure he keeps his record as the sport's youngest world champion for another year. MVG had an inconsistent 2024 on tour but the Green Machine has returned to something close to his best form this tournament and will look to do to Littler what Phil Taylor did to him as an emerging prodigy in 2013. Van Gerwen beat Chris Dobey 6-1 in his semi-final, albeit without the same awe-inspiring ease as Littler. Will his experience hold the key to victory?
With time ticking down to the start of the match, fans are beginning to make their way to the darting Mecca that is Ally Pally in North London. Littler remains a short-priced favorite with the bookmakers but there are plenty who think Van Gerwen has the game to do some damage.
Plenty think the Dutchman needs to retain total focus and not consider the possibility of playing a 17-year-old and get under the youngster's skin. Either way, there's not long to wait now until both players take to the oche and fight for the world title.
