Having vanquished the champion Gerwyn Price in a 5-4 thriller and then James Wade in the semis, 'Bully Boy' Michael Smith is now the bookies' favorite to go on and win his first World Darts Championship.
Standing in his way is the ever-flamboyant 2020 champion Peter 'Snakebite' Wright. He dispatched fellow Scot Gary Anderson in the semis despite being dogged by a niggling knee injury. Can the number 4 seed take a second title in three years?
It's been a competition marred by Covid-related withdrawals - including the awesome Michael van Gerwen - and there were calls by some players to postpone the remainder of the tournament. But the tickets have been bought, fancy dress costumes prepared and a rowdy crowd ready to descend upon the Ally Pally.

How to watch the World Darts Championship from outside your country
If the tournament clashes with a trip abroad, you'll want a VPN so you don't miss any of the action. This'll help you circumvent the geo-blocking that could otherwise stop you watching a darts live stream in particular parts of the world.
Virtual Private Networks are a legal means of getting around this issue, and it's nice and easy to set one up. Here's how it's done.
How to use a VPN
Using a VPN is as easy as one-two-three...
1. Download and install a VPN - as we say, our top choice is ExpressVPN
2. Connect to the appropriate server location - open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location
3. Go to the broadcaster's stream - head to your home broadcaster's site or app and watch as if you were at home - so that's Sports1 for Germany (opens in new tab).
