Gabriel Clemens v Alan Soutar

Alan Soutar was delighted with his finishing in his victory over Danny Noppert but was a little slow to find his scoring boots, while Gabriel Clemens conjured a breathtaking bullseye to defeat Jim Williams. Both Soutar and Clemens look dangerous over high checkouts and one of them can be fancied to deliver something enormous in their best-of-seven-sets meeting.

Michael Smith v Joe Cullen

The treble-20 bed seems likely to take a pounding when Michael Smith and Joe Cullen lock horns. These are two heavy scorers who could be set for a long match. Cullen thrashed Damon Heta 4-0 in the last round and a repeat of that performance would push Smith close. Bully Boy was a relieved man after battling past Martin Schindler and should be more fluent in round four.

Rob Cross v Chris Dobey

Chris Dobey took advantage of some Gary Anderson blunders to book a spot in the last 16, but Rob Cross seems less likely to serve up any cheap legs. Cross, who took great heart from finishing runner-up to Michael van Gerwen in the Players Championship Finals a month ago, is full of form and confidence.

Michael van Gerwen v Dirk van Duijvenbode

Mighty Mike starts as strong favourite against anyone at the moment - the Dutch darting dynamo is back to his best - and it would be the shock of the tournament should he fail to progress past Dirk van Duijvenbode in round four. Van Gerwen is hunting a fourth World title with focus, poise and seemingly relentless brilliance.
