Phil Taylor and Peter Wright return to action at the World Darts Championship on Wednesday
Wednesday 30 December 2015 22:22, UK
Phil Taylor continues his challenge for a 17th title at the World Darts Championship on Wednesday.
'The Power' is searching for his first trophy at the tournament since 2013 and faces a tricky last-16 test against Jelle Klaasen at Alexandra Palace.
In the previous round, Taylor was flattered by a 4-1 victory over Kevin Painter, and took a swipe at his critics in a passionate post-match interview.
Klaasen produced a maximum 170 checkout in his second round 4-2 win over Mervyn King and the Dutchman will be determined to derail Taylor's bid for a quarter-final berth.
Former losing finalist Peter Wright will kick-off the action with a clash against Dave 'Chizzy' Chisnall, another genuine contender.
'Snakebite' Wright booked his place in the last 16 with a 4-0 win over Ronny Huybrechts, while Chisnall also enjoyed a comfortable 4-1 win over Christian Kist.
Mark Webster and Alan 'Chuck' Norris complete the line-up and this former BDO duo could supply an enthralling battle.
Webster, the 2008 BDO world champion, booked his place in this round with a ruthless 4-0 win over Terry Jenkins.
Norris, a Lakeside runner-up in 2014, defeated Joe Murnan to extend his maiden run in the tournament.
