After almost a month of darting excellence, four players have made it to the World Darts Championship semi-finals. Tonight (January 2), Chris Dobey is facing Michael Van Gerwen, and Stephen Bunting is facing Luke Littler.
While both clashes are likely to take the roof off Ally Pally, the latter is the headline show – and for good reason. Stephen Bunting is an undeniable crowd favourite; his walk-on routine to Sia’s Titanium is beyond memorable, and the ‘let’s get Bunting mental’ chant always makes an appearance.
But on the other hand, Luke Littler has not stopped making headlines since he reached the final of the championship last year, not even a full 12 months ago. At 16, he lost to Luke Humphries and since then, the now-17-year-old has won the Premier League, the Grand Slam, the World Series Finals, and 10 senior PDC titles.

Last night, Stephen Bunting knocked out Peter Wright in a 5-2 clash. Matching that score, Luke Littler knocked out Nathan Aspinall to make it to the semis.
It’s all kicking off at the Ally Pally at 7.40pm when Dobey faces Van Gerwen. Straight afterwards, the Bunting v Littler match is scheduled to take place at 9.30pm.
