Peter 'Snakebite' Wright takes on Stephen 'The Bullet' Bunting in the first of two blockbuster quarter-finals.
The winner of this tie will face the victor of this evening's other last-eight clash between Luke Littler and Nathan Aspinall.
It's rocking at the Palace - the players set to make their entrance shortly.
Stephen Bunting hopes to wind up Man United fans by winning it all at the Ally Pally.
The Bullet faces off with Peter Wright tonight for a place in the final four.
And he harbours hopes of parading the PDC trophy around Anfield before Sunday's grudge match with United.
Bunting said: "It would be fantastic.
"And I think it would be made even more fantastic because we're playing Man Utd.
"So that'd be unbelievable. Just to shove that trophy down their throats as well."
Action not far away at Ally Pally, where the crowd are in jovial mood ahead of the evening session.
Tournament favourite Luke Littler faces Nathan Aspinall in the featured match, after Peter Wright does battle with Stephen Bunting.
Chris Dobey was speechless following his comeback win over Gerwyn Price.
Hollywood missed FIVE match darts in a thrilling seventh set, only to storm back and win the quarter-final tie 5-3.
He said: "Where does this rank in my career? It’s definitely at the top.
"It’s a massive, massive achievement in my career.
"Getting over the defeat last year and getting over the line this year, it means a lot.
"Once again, the fans have been fantastic. I’ve never been so nervous throwing at a winning double than I have today.
"It reminded me of exactly the same as last year against Rob Cross. I thought: ‘Just keep going, you’ll get another chance.’ I’m overwhelmed."
Nathan Aspinall is chasing a first world title at the Ally Pally.
But it all could have been very different - after the Stockport-born slinger pursued a football career during his youth.
The Asp told Sky Sports: "I got scouted to play at the Manchester United goalkeeping Academy, it was a feeder club for United and other clubs.
"I got offered contracts for Rangers when I was nine, I played for Stockport County and had trials with them.
"Football was the way I wanted to go. Every kid wants to be a footballer.
"It didn't work out for me but I played at a semi-pro level and I'm now a professional darts player.
"If I was a little bit taller I could have made it. I got released because I was too small as a goalkeeper. I wasn't tall enough."
Nathan Aspinall claims Luke Littler does not have many mates on the PDC Tour "because a lot of people are jealous of him".
Ahead of their last-eight clash tonight, Aspinall said: “I see myself, not so much of a role model, but a bit of an older brother to him in the darts world.
"We don’t speak much outside of darts but when it comes to darts, I do try to help him. He’s a nice kid.
"He hasn’t got many mates on the tour because a lot of people are jealous of him. I am not.
"I appreciate what he has done for the game. What he has done for himself and his family."
Two down, two to go at the Palace.
We don't have long to wait to find out who joins MVG and Dobey in the semi-finals.
Evening action from Ally Pally is due to start at 7.10pm:
We now know two of our four semi-finalists as Chris Dobey and Michael van Gerwen battle through at Ally Pally.
Dobey fought back from 2-0 down to Gerwyn Price, knocking the Welshman out 5-3 despite missing FIVE match darts in the seventh set.
MVG meanwhile powered past Callan Rydz, who pushed the three-time champion all the way.
After battling part Callan Rydz, Michael van Gerwen has issued a message to his critics.
He told Sky: "Everyone knows I have had a tough year.
"I am battling through everything. What do you want to know? I am still here, I believe in my own ability.
"This means a lot to me. Experience helps a lot but when people like Callan are throwing 180s for fun, you need to stop it.
"I had to keep putting him under pressure. He had some fantastic finishes."
MVG and the Riot serve up one of the games of the tournament.
The three-time champ gets through to the semi-finals 5-3 after eight sets of fantastic darts.
"He gave me everything. He just didn't stop throwing trebles.
"I was getting annoyed at one point!
"I was so glad with my own performance. I'm very happy.
"The game had everything. It had drama, it had 180s. To be part of games like this brings me joy.
"This was probably one of my best performances in a long time."
What a stunning effort from Callan Rydz.
But he falls just short of a brilliant win, with MVG fighting his way into the semi finals.
Another two 180s in that final leg, taking us to a final tally of 31.
Incredible scoring and The Riot can hold his head high.
We're up to THIRTY match 180s now as both players continue to pepper the trebles.
Rydz can't take out 137 for the set and MVG is able to hold his throw.
Nerves of steel again from Rydz.
MVG piles on the pressure and has tops if The Riot can't check out 72.
16, 16, D20. Just like that - and Rydz is now one leg away from forcing a deciding set.
MVG has been overshadowed in these last few legs.
But he's still ticking along, adding his own maximum to set up 82 for a 13-darter.
Away it goes.
Rydz now tops the tournament 180 leaderboard with 42, six ahead of Luke Littler.
He's been relentless and the dream is still on.
The Riot has the darts - if he can hold his throw through this set, we're going to a winner-takes-all decider.
It's job done in the first leg of the set, as Rydz takes out 64.
This is absolutely brilliant darts.
An outrageous 99 checkout from Rydz after he drops two more 180s.
Bedlam at the Ally Pally.
This is some effort from The Riot.
A massive checkout of 70 and he breaks the MVG throw, dropping another 180 on the way.
He now has FOURTEEN maximums.
Callan Rydz digs deep to halt the Van Gerwen charge.
He is also on a 9-darter to begin this leg, before a big D4 to hold throw.
That halts a run of four consecutive legs for MVG.
MVG has hit the afterburners.
Six perfect darts again and he has the crowd in the palm of his hand.
He can't find the 9-darter, but he can secure the leg. The maximums are flowing now.
The Green Machine has taken control.
A strong leg from MVG, despite Rydz pouring on some scoreboard pressure at the end.
Just one dart needed at the double and Van Gerwen can smell the semi-finals.
MVG in his prime will just wear you down.
And no matter how well Rydz plays, you can't really do much about this.
Van Gerwen races to a finish, removing 44 and breaking the throw.
Double 13 missed by Rydz for a 2-0 lead in the set.
MVG on double 16 - and he makes no mistake.
Rydz might be playing a brilliant game, but all credit to Van Gerwen for keeping himself in front.
Set 6 underway and you feel Rydz needs this one to keep the dream alive.
The Riot is on throw and dominates from the off, putting another two 140+ visits.
Rydz averaging 102.79 in this match. It's brilliant stuff.
What a missed opportunity for Callan Rydz.
He can't find tops for a 3-2 lead - and MVG makes him pay.
The Dutchman has to go all the way to double 1, but finds it. Huge dart.
