The quarter-final draw for the Grand Slam of Darts was completed on Thursday night when Adrian Lewis got the better of Michael van Gerwen in a high-scoring battle in Wolverhampton.

Lewis was the last of eight names to move a step closer to lifting the trophy at the Civic Hall on Sunday evening, with Phil Taylor remaining the overwhelming favourite to win a fifth crown.

Below, Sports Mole takes a look at which players could progress through to the semi-finals over the next two evenings.

Phil Taylor vs. James Wade

Taylor's form during the group stages was simply stunning, with the sixteen-time world champion dropping just one leg in 16 to ease through to the second round.

Scotland's Gary Anderson tested him during their last-16 encounter as he forced Taylor to share the opening eight legs, but the 53-year-old eventually stormed through to secure victory.

James Wade looks a different player to the one who bowed out of The Masters so tamely less than two weeks ago, when his performance wilted under Taylor's power-scoring and he succumbed to a 10-1 defeat.

The left-hander's finishing has been sublime during his first four matches at this year's Grand Slam, and he dispatched of Paul Nicholson on Thursday night with ruthless efficiency.

However, Wade hasn't defeated Taylor in his last 19 attempts, and while the seven-time major winner might remain competitive with the world number one in the opening stages, he is unlikely to possess the consistency required to challenge Taylor over a best-of-31 match.

Prediction: Taylor to win 16-7

Scott Waites vs. Ted Hankey

Two-time Lakeside winner produced the performance of the week on Wednesday night when he rallied from 6-1 down to edge out Simon Whitlock in a deciding leg to win 10-9.

It was far from a virtuoso display from 'The Count', but his theatrics on the Wolverhampton stage slowly had an effect on his Australian opponent, who was unable to do anything to break Hankey's momentum.

However, the Telford-based player's mind games are unlikely to have the same influence on former Grand Slam champion Scott Waites, who has already faced Hankey in the group stages.

The Yorkshire thrower won 5-3 on that occasion, despite the showmanship of his opponent, and it helped him build the momentum that he needed to win four matches in a row.

Hankey will have more of a chance in this match if he turns up and concentrates on his throwing, but if he doesn't, the 2013 BDO world champion will have enough in the tank to comfortably reach the last four.

Prediction: Waites to win 16-11

Adrian Lewis vs. Kim Huybrechts

This match is likely to steal the show over the next two nights, and what makes it more intriguing is that on current form, it is impossible to predict a winner with any confidence.

Lewis's scoring form against Van Gerwen was simply remarkable, and when he gets into that sort of rhythm, he is almost impossible to stop. But, there were occasions when the two-time world champion lost his range on the doubles.

Huybrechts has shown plenty of potential since he arrived on the PDC stage a couple of years ago, but it has only been over the past couple of months that he has began to show the consistency required to be classed as a top-10 player.

He lost two matches in the group stages, but the Belgian's scoring can be classed in the same bracket as his opponent on Saturday, and it will come down to who holds their nerve in the final 10 legs of the match.

If both produce their 'A' game, there will be no more than a couple of legs' difference when they reach 20 legs, but that could be the moment when Lewis kicks on to seal a semi-final date with either Taylor or Wade.

Prediction: Lewis to win 16-13

Robert Thornton vs. Tony O'Shea

Considering the players that are involved in the other three quarter-finals, the match between Robert Thornton and Tony O'Shea has almost slipped under the radar, but this game represents a huge opportunity for both players to move a step closer to a major final.

Both the Scot and the Englishman are known to be big 180-scorers, but there are times when their accuracy on the doubles can cost them the chance to reach the latter stages of a tournament.

Thornton went about his business in the group stages in an unspectacular way, but he did secure his place in the last eight with a 161 checkout to defeat Mervyn King.

O'Shea's lowest average of the tournament has been 94, which is a remarkable improvement from his mediocre displays 12 months ago, and he will give himself openings to beat Thornton.

However, Thornton has the experience of a major champion, and while we should expect a topsy-turvy match, the 46-year-old could just nick it in the closing stages.

Prediction: Thornton to win 16-13
