Luke Littler is confident ahead of his World Darts Championship semi-final clash against Stephen Bunting. He overcame Nathan Aspinall in the quarter-finals, while Bunting defeated Peter Wright. Both players have strong fan bases at Alexandra Palace.
Luke Littler is relishing the opportunity to face 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.

'They've also been good to Stephen. 'They can take their pick and support whoever they want to. I can see quite a few Nuke shirts in here, so I think I've got on the better!' With Luke Humphries suffering a shock early exit, Littler now enters the semis as the heavy favourite - Michael van Gerwen takes on Chris Dobey in the other semi-final - but he knows anything can happen on the Ally Pally stage. But the 17-year-old is feeling the best he has the entire tournament and is hoping to replicate that on Thursday night to book his spot in the final once again. 'Probably that's what everyone thinks, but anything can happen on the day, it's the semi-finals of the World Championship,' Littler said. 'Obviously Michael has been there numerous times, Chris is in his first, I'm in my second, and I know Bunting I think is in his first or second, so it's going to be a good night. 'I felt the best I have in this tournament so far, so hopefully I can regroup and come back again and it can be the same feeling
