Littler booked his place in the showpiece match by beating Rob Cross 6-2 on Tuesday night.
He is now just one game away from lifting the Sid Waddell trophy and scooping £500,000 in prize money.
His meteoric rise began by playing the sport as a toddler, with family footage showing a young Littler throwing darts at home.

Littler has made no secret of his love for the Red Devils during his run to the final at Alexandra Palace.
