The top half of the draw in the World Matchplay in the Empress Ballroom at Blackpool's Winter Gardens aims to deliver another pair of excellent quarter-finals to demonstrate the tungsten tenacity of 20 World titles and a guy that got to the Lakeside final.
Opening the evening is a match that requires stage reinforcement as super-heavyweight double World Champion Adrian Lewis plays fellow fat man Alan Norris. Snackpot has had his mind less focused on food and ferries since back surgery a few weeks ago and is amazingly all the better for it, with his performance against that sensational newcomer Rob Cross a sign of his potential and a throwback to the days when he truly gave a shit. Chuck on the other hand has needed his finishing to get him out of trouble on both occasions, punishing Dave Chisnall on Wednesday with some composed checkouts. If the former Lakeside finalist doesn't get his scoring up to speed, this could be over before it's even really started; Norris has never beaten Lewis, and this is the prime opportunity to do so.
Then, the repeat of last year's final: Michael van Gerwen versus Phil Taylor. With Pheel's retirement tour still wheeling itself around, there would be no more perfect opportunity to see him brutally dismantled on the stage he once dominated than by the Green Machine looking for his 13th straight Blackpool win. The Prowler was thankful Raymond van Barneveld opened his anus wide and took the Stokie's veiny bang stick with no lube in a thoroughly disappointing encounter, while MVG remarkably still hasn't averaged 100, but given how rubbish Simon Whitlock played in R2 it's no surprise as he didn't even need to try to hand out a thumping of the pissed-up Aussie. However, the Autism Express will need a three figure average and a solid checkout rate to end the Matchplay master's last ride and Sky's masturbation over a sex pest.
Coverage starts from 7:00pm UK time on both new-look Sky Sports Main Event and Action channels.

Phil Douglas Taylor, age sixtyish. Occupation: Jobber. Formerly a fixture of the summer. Formerly a rather minor component to a hot July. But throughout his life, a man beloved by the shitposters...and therefore a most important man. Couldn't happen you say? Probably not in most places, but it did happen...in the Twilight Zone.
