Barney, Bunting and King crown cracking day of darts

Barney’s Army need wait no longer, as Raymond van Barneveld makes his much-awaited 2016 PDC World Darts Championship first round appearance on the evening of day four.

To top off a superb evening of tungsten tussles, familiar faces Stephen Bunting and Mervyn King also make their way to the Alexandra Palace oche for their respective opening fixtures. Check out Coral’s best bets for the four magnificent matches below…

Preliminary round (best of three sets, no tie-break)

Aleksandr Oreshkin v Paul Lim

Mervyn King waits for the winner, and Lim may be best positioned to dethrone the world number 14, so is worth backing at 11/8 to progress smoothly by beating Oreshkin 2-0 beforehand.
