The 21-year-old will be fully confident of downing the Magician in there latest encounter, having secured two wins over him already this year in both the v and Northern Ireland Open. He is therefore a tasty 15/8 to prevail for a third successive meeting, with the youngster having also earned a whitewash in their last clash.

Fu to dispatch Jones 6-3

Hong Kong cueman Marco Fu blazed into the quarter-finals with a storming 6-0 whitewash victory over up-and-coming Leeds talent Oliver Lines in his previous outing, and is finally enjoying some form after a disappointing season so far.

The 38-year-old was a runner-up at the Barbican back in 2008 and, having recorded a 5-3 and 5-0 success over his next opponent previously, he is 5/1 to earn a 6-3 triumph here.

O’Sullivan to take 4-0 lead over Williams

Five-time Crucible kingpin Ronnie O’Sullivan has been flying of late in York and boasts a supreme record against quarter-final foe Mark Williams.

The Rocket is yet to be tested in the event so far and has beaten his Welsh opponent on 29 occasions from their 43 career meetings. Therefore, punters can back the five-time UK winner to take a 4-0 lead after four frames at 21/5.
