THE PREDICTION
Michael Smith defied a nine-darter from Gerwyn Price to defeat the reigning world champion 5-4 in an Ally Pally classic on New Year's Day and there is real belief now that this could be Bully Boy’s year. James Wade’s quarter-final win over Mervyn King was in stark contrast as he routed the veteran 5-0 but the standard was far lower and if both players operate at the same level here, then Michael Smith will be appearing in his second PDC World Darts Championship final. You can never underestimate Wade of course, who has reached this stage for the loss of just one set, but Smith looks in the mood and should find a way past The Machine, hitting more 180s in the process.
