Luke Littler's earnings over the two-year period that determine the Order of Merit total £1,770,500 after making the final, a figure that will rise to £1,850,000 if he wins.

Being world number one is some achievement for Luke Littler regardless of the result tonight and doing it in less than two years is something remarkable.

He knows how to get it done. He doesn't have bad spells - he does lose in some tournaments and it will continue to happen - but he's just a brilliant talent.

Luke Littler and Luke Humphries are 1-1 in terms of major finals against each other this year.

Luke Littler just remained patient. He was a little rattled at the start, but he just deals with every situation. He deserved to win and it sets up a great final this evening.

He backs himself and rightly so. He has to go and win it tonight though or it will take the gloss off being world number one.

Luke Littler is yet to defend a major title.

Tonight, he could achieve that feat for the first time.

Luke Littler talking to Sky Sports: "It is has not even been two years that I've been on the tour and I'm already world number one. That is job done - I am world number one - but there is a bigger match tonight.

"I am the best in the world. No matter what, I've said it throughout the year that Luke Humphries is the best in the world. No matter if you go out in the first, second or third round you are the best in the world.

"It is another Luke v Luke final. Some people like it and some people don't. It is going to be another brilliant game. I've still not been beaten here and hopefully I can go back to back here."

Well, there we have it.

It's another Luke v Luke final but for the first time, it's with Littler as world number one.

Luke Littler was made to work.

Danny Noppert has had a brilliant tournament but he just wilted.

Littler, as he so often does, just found a way to win.

We've now got that breathtaking final between him and Luke Humphries later tonight.

Luke Littler leaves 40 for the match.

He needs just one dart to make history and become the world number one.

He's 18-years-old!

Luke Littler is one away!

He hits a 15 dart leg by checking out 72 with 16, 16 and double tops.

Danny Noppert just hasn't been able to keep the level needed.

It has been a high-level performance from Danny Noppert but unfortunately it doesn't seem like it is going to be enough.

Eight of the last nine legs go the way of Luke Littler and he's flying towards the number one spot and the final.

You get the feeling Luke Littler is finally enjoying himself on the stage now.

He's got 20 left with Danny Noppert on 126.

Littler misses all three darts at double, though, and gives Noppert a lifeline.

Is this beyond Danny Noppert now?

What is going on here?

Both are making a real mess on the doubles and Danny Noppert should be within two but Luke Littler hits double 10 to move three away.

Luke Littler has got real daylight now.

Daylight now for Luke Littler.

He only needs 11 darts to move four away from the final by taking out 73.

Hope you were doing the dance, Sam!

After a bit of Oasis in the last break, the DJ has mixed it up and has the crowd singing along to the YMCA this time.

Something for everyone.

We are potentially five legs away from yet another Luke Littler and Luke Humphries final.
