Dave Chisnall gets his 2016 PDC William Hill World Darts Championship campaign under way as the tournament moves into its sixth day.

The St. Helens-based player will take on the talented youngster Rowby-John Rodriguez, who was a runner-up in the 2014 World Youth Championships.

Chisnall, whose game has notably improved over the last 12 months, should have too much for the 21-year-old Austrian, but will have to play well to have it all his own way.

Earlier on in the evening session, there is a repeat of one of last year’s most memorable encounters, as Cristo Reyes takes on Wes Newton.

The Spaniard sensationally beat the former PDC Premier League competitor in the first round last year and went as far as the third, where he was beaten by the eventual champion Gary Anderson.

Tonight, he is the favourite among many bookmakers, despite Newton being the tie’s seeded player.

Elsewhere, Ronny Huybrechts will be looking to do what his brother Kim couldn’t and progress into the second round after a closely-contested encounter with Dean Winstanley.

Terry Jenkins should have enough to overcome Darin Young in the final match of the night.
