    Michael Smith 2-4 Michael van Gerwen

    Three straight legs for Michael van Gerwen!

    He is almost impossible to stop when he is in this form.

    An uncharacteristic 55 to start the seventh leg gives Michael Smith a way back into the contest however.

    Michael Smith v Michael van Gerwen

    'Seven Nation Army' and 'Shut Up and Dance With Me' the walk out songs of choice, both crowd favourites!

    The O2 is ready for this clash, I have a feeling it will be a closer match than the last semi-final.

    Gerwyn Price has laid down the challenge, but it is one both Michael Smith and Michael van Gerwen would love to take on.

    Smith got the better of Van Gerwen in the World Championship final in January to move top of the world rankings.

    The Dutchman has not only been here and done it before, but he has done so a joint-record six times.

    And you can be sure he is targeting a record-breaking seventh Premier League of Darts title.

    Here they come for their walk ons!

    Gerwyn Price 10-2 Jonny Clayton

    After his semi-final win Gerwyn Price said: "Even though I went in 8-2 up I was a bit disappointed because I missed a few doubles to go 9-1 up.

    "I've been in situations when I've been so many legs up before and lost matches so I was kicking myself, but I know I was playing well.

    "I'm going to get back to the practice room, keep throwing and hopefully that game or even better comes out again."

    Gerwyn Price 10-2 Jonny Clayton

    Gerwyn Price told Sky Sports he was "speechless" by how well he played in that semi-final.

    He will need a similar level in the final, Michael Smith and Michael van Gerwen will likely put up a bigger fight on this occasion that Jonny Clayton managed.
