Cool Hand can look to join exclusive club

Only two men - Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen - have been world champion and Premier League champ at the same time, and it’s an exclusive club that Luke Humphries can join at London’s O2.

Humphries, crowned champion of the world in the first week of January, has enjoyed a stellar debut Premier League campaign and is ready to finish it on a high.

Pipped to top spot by Luke Littler, Humphries takes on Van Gerwen in the second semi-final of the night and has to be confident of beating the once-feared Dutch colossus.

Then it’s straight back on to stage to shackle either Littler or Michael Smith and Humphries, when he is purring, has nothing to fear from either man.

Cool Hand is the world No.1 and world champion for a reason and on the biggest stage - a stage he now looks completely at ease upon - expect him to stamp his class.

Smith to get teenage kicks from defusing The Nuke

Littler has done nothing wrong during a fabulous debut campaign - but if he does have an Achilles heel it’s Bully Boy.

Littler and Smith have met seven times over the course of this year’s competition and it’s the senior player who boasts the lion’s share of the victories with five in all.

The most recent of those was just last Thursday in Sheffield when Smith went on to win the nightly honours, his second triumph of the league season which forced his way into the play-offs.

There is no denying Littler’s class but there is also no denying the reality that Smith has his number. And in that case the former world champion is a massive tempter at .

Seven up for Van Gerwen as reign set to end

Defending champion and seven-time winner Van Gerwen has been hit and miss throughout the tournament.

Mighty Mike has had eight first-hurdle falls offset by four nightly wins and he looks doomed to come undone against Humphries in the second semi.

Incredibly, Humphries has beaten Van Gerwen in their last six meetings including three in the past fortnight and that level of dominance is hard to shift. Take Humphries to win this well - with at least a 10-7 scoreline - by backing him on the handicap.
