The PDC World Darts Championship has finally arrived. It must be Christmas.

The opening day of action will see a number of first-round clashes go ahead before reigning champion Luke Humphries takes to the stage at the end of the night to open his tournament in the second round.

Jermaine Wattimena and Kim Huybrechts are among the names on the slate for the first evening session.

Humphries is back to defend his title, though defeated runner-up Luke Littler is the name on everyone's lips following a staggering breakout season on the PDC Tour.

Michael van Gerwen, Michael Smith and Rob Cross are all in the mix alongside a fine cast of dark horses vying to make waves in north London this Christmas.
