Selby is so inconsistent and Murphy or Allen is no Mug...so how confident are you really? or just Bravado lol

And had two matches decided by a fluke. Plus Selby hasn't been near his best all week, despite his more pedestrian route to the final.

He hasn't been at his best for the past 2 or 3 years that's a fact, with some flashes of his A game here and there but nothing major.

Murphy won't beat him though, and I expect a very similar match to their UK Final meeting 2 years ago, even the same scoreline, 10-6 for Selby, wouldn't surprise me.

Murphy's safety is not as bad as many think it is, and he can compete with Selby in that department to some extent, but many of those tight frames will only give an advantage for Selby. Murphy would have to be making 1 visit stuff or pretty close to that anyway to stand a decent chance.

I will be very surprised in fact if Murphy wins this final, even with Selby's record in Finals.
