Luke Littler is relishing the opportunity to tackle Stephen Bunting and his ‘Bunting Army’ in their semi-final showdown at Alexandra Palace on Thursday.
Littler continued his bid for a maiden World Darts Championship title with a convincing 5-2 victory over Nathan Aspinall, having seen Bunting despatch Peter Wright by the same margin.
Both players receive huge support from the Ally Pally crowd, with Bunting’s ‘Titanium’ walk-on and Littler’s ‘Greenlight’ track generating huge noise ahead of every match, with the pre-tournament favourite fully aware the crowd will not all be supporting his bid to reach a second Worlds final.
