    MvG has won the previous six.

    Michael van Gerwen v Peter Wright

    Peter Wright, looking like he's been splattered in a tin of paint, is the first onto the stage.

    MvG is close behind.

    This really could be a classic.

    My 21:00 BST estimation for the start of this final was way off the mark.

    The players are about to come out!

    Out to stop MvG is Peter Wright.

    Snakebite has been in stunning form so far this weekend, winning all four of his matches.

    The world number one is a different kind of gravy though.

    Ashley Smith: Fantastic match that were! Gotta back MvG to go all the way. Not a fan of Price but credit where credit's due!

    MvG will have a bit of time to compose himself after that nailbiting victory over Gerwyn Price before the final.

    I reckon they'll be back out in around 20 minutes or so.

    So, that thrilling victory for MvG sets up a final against Peter Wright.

    Those two have had plenty of classic battles over the years.

    Most of them in favour of Van Gerwen. Obviously!

    Gerwyn Price tells BBC Sport:

    "I thought I dominated most of that game. We both played really well, at stages I thought I was in control. But it always happens, I always mess it up in the last leg.

    "I'm gutted I lost."

    MvG is into the final! What. A. Game.

    Gerwyn Price's power scoring deserts him in the final leg and the Dutchman takes advantage by taking out double 16 with his first dart.

    I'll run you through the stats in a moment. They make some viewing.
