The Welshman is the oldest man to reach the last eight at the Crucible since 2010 .

Williams and Higgins have met five times, with four victories for Williams , including an 18 -16 victory in an epic showdown in the 2018 final.

'Class of 92', with Ronnie O'Sullivan completing the trio, have won 14 world titles between them.

The trio's achievements are legendary, with seven world titles, four and Williams three .

Judd Trump will play the winner of Williams-Higgins in the semi-final if he wins in his own quarter-final against Luca Brecel .
