Sunday's Grand Slam of Darts tips (1300 GMT)

Martin Lukeman to beat Mickey Mansall

Luke Littler to beat Gary Anderson

 

Mickey Mansall vs Martin Lukeman

Martin Lukeman comes into this one fresh off a fantastic win over Rob Cross, while Mickey Mansall is having a dream run at Wolverhampton.

This semi-final will have been amongst the most unlikeliest of scenarios for supporters at the starts of the week, but here we are. 

If you look at the results of the pair, Lukeman's are certainly of a higher calibre, beating Cross twice and whitewashing two-time world champion Peter Wright in his first game. 

Off the basis of that and the momentum the 39-year-old currently has, we can see him reaching his first ever major PDC final. 

 

Luke Littler vs Gary Anderson

Now this is a clash that will have darts fans frothing at the mouth as two of the PDC's in-form players of 2024 meet. 

Gary Anderson is enjoying somewhat of a renassaince this year and has been there or thereabouts at most tournaments he's played in. 

However, Luke 'The Nuke' Littler is a name that would've prompted a shoulder shrug just a year ago, but his rise this year has been worthy of a Hollywood film and he could storm into the top five of the world rankings with a win here. 

The 17-year-old certainly has the form, he hammered Jermain Wattimena 16-2 in his quarter-final clash and we're backing him to reach a maiden Grand Slam final here. 

 

Who will win the 2024 Grand Slam of Darts?

Luke Littler is one of the top candidates for the title after an extraordinary breakthrough season.

The teenage sensation claimed the Premier League and World Series of Darts crowns as well as two European Tour titles and three Players Championship tournament wins.

The big challenge for the youngster will be navigating a potentially tricky group which also includes Dimitri Van den Bergh and Keane Barry. If Littler is at his lethal best, he should progress as a group winner.

Michael van Gerwen, a three-time winner of the Grand Slam, has also been drawn in a rather interesting group.

A rejuvenated Gary Anderson, Ryan Joyce and Noa-Lynn van Leuven will be looking to halt the Dutchman. Anderson himself is fourth-favourite in the outrights.

Last year’s ffinalistsRob Cross and Michael Smith are close behind the chasing pack in the betting. Followed closely by fan favourite Stephen Bunting.

The Bullet recently added a baby boy to his family and he will be looking to mark the happy family occasion with a new piece of silverware on the mantelpiece.
