Youthful and PDC-only line-up left in Grand Slam of Darts

Following an exiting start to the nine-day Grand Slam of Darts competition, which has already produced two 170 checkouts (from Robbie Green and James Wade), Coral now preview the remaining eight stars.

There is a very youthful line-up left in the quarter-finals, with Michael van Gerwen, Stephen Bunting, Michael Smith, Kim Huybrechts and surprise package Keegan Brown all under the age of 30.

No BDO participants remain, as Alan Norris and former PDC player Green exited in the second round. Here, we preview of the eight fixtures that take place across Friday and Saturday.

Dave Chisnall v Keegan Brown
Brown, who is named after former England international footballer Kevin Keegan, could well be a future star, having beaten darting giants Adrian Lewis and 2012 winner Raymond van Barneveld to get to this stage.

The World Youth champion faces a man he has never beaten before in three attempts, though, in Chisnall, who thrashed him 5-1 in the group stage this year. Brown is a 6/4 chance to cause another upset here, but Chisnall is odds-on at 8/15 in this first to 16 match-up.

Michael van Gerwen v Kim Huybrechts
World number one and top seed Van Gerwen (tournament 13/8 second-favourite) only just has a winning record against his upcoming Belgian opponent (8-6), and has lost two of his last three against him.

Huybrechts, therefore, is a tempting 4/1 chance to beat Mighty Mike again, with the latter, who won their battle in Group A, odds-on at 1/6.

Mervyn King v Stephen Bunting
Their only previous meeting was in 2004 in the BDO, with King the victor, but Bunting, who recently switched over to the PDC, is a superstar in the making. He top a tough Group H, featuring Gary Anderson and Dean Winstanley, and knocked out James Wade in a thrilling second round encounter.

Third seed Bunting (11/2 to win the Grand Slam) is the odds-on favourite at 4/11, with King priced at 21/10.
