  7. Harrysson to upset Clayton?published at 14:14 GMT 30 December 2025

    Clayton v Harrysson

    Jonny Clayton should win this, right? Well, it's not been going to plan for the seeds in this tournament and Andreas Harrysson will be looking to land on a quarter-final spot on his debut.

  8. Premier League places up for grabspublished at 14:13 GMT 30 December 2025

    Fourth seed Stephen Bunting's early exit from the World Championship means there is potentially an automatic qualification spot in next year's Premier League up for grabs.

    The top four in the world rankings at the end of the tournament are guaranteed places and, with a £1m first prize on offer at Alexandra Palace, it means whoever wins the World Championship will be in the world's top four.

    Jonny Clayton, Gian van Veen and Josh Rock are provisionally ranked fifth, sixth and seventh at the moment, but extending their runs in the event may well be enough to put them above Bunting in the standings.

    Jonny Clayton, speaking to Sky Sports before his fourth-round match against Andreas Harrysson:

    "I'm definitely motivated. I'm looking forward to it. I've not played against Andreas before and I'm sure it's going to be a belter.

    "As a seed, it's good to see the others fall. We're here to win a big prize and without them in it, it's better for us. I'll take it game by game and hopefully it's going to be my year."

    This will be the first 4-0 of the day here. Jonny Clayton will find his top form. Hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling Andreas will get peppered today.
