Littler is a 17-year-old darting prodigy who first came to prominence in reaching the final of worlds 12 months ago and hasn't taken his foot off the gas since. The Nuke has even become that rarest of beasts – a sportsman who transcends his (niche) discipline to become box office in his own right. Yet, he needs that world crown to truly go stratospheric. A 5-2 quarter-final demolition of Nathan Aspinall featured the teenager's brutal scoring power but also a slight fragility when finishing. Can that be exploited?
Bunting, meanwhile, is a worthy semi-final opponent and a popular underdog. The new world number five dispatched a rejuvenated Peter Wright with little fuss in the last eight, winning 5-2 after surging to an early 4-0 lead. A former BDO champion, the Bullet began practicing with world number one Luke Humphries a year ago and his form has rocketed since. The Scouser is a heavy scorer and must take his chances when they come against the treble machine that is Littler.
Darts fans are already starting to mill around Ally Pally for what promises to be an epic session of darts, with fancy dress the standard pre-requisite.
The winner will face the winner of the Michael van Gerwen vs Chris Dobey semi-final in Friday's big decider. That particular darting morsel is first up, with Littler vs Bunting to follow upon its conclusion.
So step up to the Ally Pally oche and watch who will make into the final tomorrow for a shot at £500,000. Here's how to watch Littler vs Bunting live streams online, no matter where in the world you are.
