Formidable Stoke duo Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis look to set the record straight after two below-par performances which saw them scrape past Canada and USA to reach this stage.

Taylor has lost both of his singles matches so far and has relied on unlikely leadership from former protege Adrian Lewis to rescue the situation in doubles matches.

Wales will be out to make it back-to-back finals after they finished runners-up to Holland in the 2010 event.

Burnett and Webster have looked in fine form as a team and are revelling in each other's company; they could prove to be dark horses to challenge for the title today.

The Power faces legend Richie Burnett to kick off the match, while reigning world champion Lewis faces former BDO champion Mark Webster.

Taylor will then return to face Webby in another tasty tie, with Jackpot taking on the man known as The Prince of Wales to round off the singles matches.

The two nations will then return to the stage to play out a doubles match if required to decide who goes through.

One point is awarded per singles win, with two points on offer for a doubles victory. 

The bookmakers make England the 2/7 favourites to reach the final, with Wales offering value at 5/2 with Bet365.

The winner will face either Holland or Australia in tonight's final in Hamburg, Germany. All games are the best of seven legs.
