Bet of the day: Don’t miss out on Snakebite and Barney double!

On top of that, both are in high confidence having seen off incredibly tough opposition in the last round. Barney just knocked out the world number one and previous heavy tournament favourite Michael van Gerwen 4-3, before Snakebite inflicted the same scoreline on Dave Chisnall the very next match in another epic.

Five-time world champion Van Barneveld, meanwhile, will have been ecstatic after his victory over the young Dutch pretender, and Smith will know that a rampant Barney is almost unstoppable.

The 48-year-old fan favourite will also no doubt have the crowd for support, and can use the recent birth of his grandson as inspiration. He also boasts a 5-3 career record over Bully Boy, has never lost to him in a major event and triumphed in their their only previous World Championship meeting in 2012.

Wright, meanwhile, has enjoyed facing Lewis recently, having won two of their last three battles – both of which were in quarter-finals too.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab these thrilling 3/1 odds while you can to celebrate the New Year!
