LUKE 'The Nuke' Littler's start time in the Paddy Power PDC World Darts Championship quarter-finals at Alexandra Palace is now confirmed.

Thanks to his mesmerising 4-1 slaying of Dutch darts legend Raymond van Barneveld on Saturday night, the Warrington 16-year-old will continue his amazing run on his debut in the tournament against Northern Ireland's Brendan Dolan on New Year's Day.

Their clash will be the second one in the afternoon session, with their time on the Ally Pally stage expected to be around 2.30pm.

The contest could start a little earlier or a little later, depending on how the first quarter-final tie plays out between Rob Cross and Chris Dobey which is scheduled to start at 12.45pm.

The winners of those two games will meet in the semi-finals on Tuesday night, with the final scheduled for Wednesday night.

Quarter-finals are the best of nine sets, so the first player to win five sets goes through.

Monday night's quarter-finals will be between Michael van Gerwen and Scott Williams at 7.15pm followed by Luke Humphries and Dave Chisnall at approximately 9pm.
