Michael van Gerwen, Martin 'Wolfie' Adams and Peter Wright all appear at the Grand Slam tonight

Michael van Gerwen, Martin 'Wolfie' Adams and Peter Wright all return to action at the Grand Slam tonight, live on Sky Sports.

World No 1 Van Gerwen cruised through the group stages, picking up three comfortable wins, and will next battle Steve Beaton for a quarter-final place at Wolverhampton Civic Hall.

Beaton, a former BDO world champion, qualified for the next stage despite picking up a solitary win over Ian White, and will need to raise his game against 'The Green Machine.'

The eagerly anticipated arrival of Adams in the tournament has lived up the hype, with 'Wolfie' progressing from his group in top spot after three impressive victories.

But Adams is facing his toughest match yet against Kim Huybrechts, who booked his place in the knockout stages with a 5-2 win over Mark Oosterhuis.

Peter Wright and Adrian Lewis were both forced to work for their spots in the next stage and will be hoping to rediscover their blistering best form when they face-off tonight.

Dave Chisnall has already enjoyed a lucrative appearance in the tournament, scooping £30,000 for completing a nine-darter in his win over Wright on Sunday night.
