Van Gerwen is a three-time world champion but has not claimed darts’ biggest prize since 2019, and has been beaten by Peter Wright and Michael Smith in finals since then.
World Darts Championship prize money: How much will Luke Littler or Michael van Gerwen win?
Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen are within touching distance of being crowned world champion at Alexandra Palace.
The pair dropped just one set each in dominant semi-final wins on Thursday night, as Van Gerwen swept aside Chris Dobey and Littler then followed that up by dispatching Stephen Bunting.
Littler goes into the match as favourite, as he has been throughout the tournament, and an average of 105.48 in his semi-final win over Bunting suggests it will take something incredibly special from Van Gerwen to deny him.
