Luke Littler will aim to become the youngest World Darts Championship winner when he faces Luke Humphries in the final at Alexandra Palace.
The 16-year-old sensation has enjoyed a dream run on his World Championship debut, which has included a win over his idol Raymond van Barneveld and 2018 champion Rob Cross.
Littler had already showed his potential by being crowed world junior champion last year.
He now stands on the brink of the senior title and a prize of £500,000 despite having only just left school.
