Sky Live: Van Gerwen v Anderson
- Updated: January 2, 2017
Defending champion Gary Anderson will meet world No 1 Michael van Gerwen in a mouthwatering World Darts Championship final on Monday night
The Flying Scotsman has made serene progress in his pursuit of a third successive Sid Waddell trophy and he recorded a 17th straight victory on the Alexandra Palace stage in his semi-final success over Peter Wright.
Standing in his way will be all-conquering Van Gerwen, who has 25 titles to his name for 2016 and saw off the considerable threat of fellow Dutchman Raymond van Barneveld thanks to a world record display in his own last four encounter on Sunday night.
Van Gerwen was the last person to beat Anderson on the Ally Pally stage, his 4-3 third round win coming in the 2014 championships although the Scot was to have his revenge in 2015 beating Mighty Mike 6-3 in their last four encounter on the way to the first of his back-to-back titles.
