Luke Littler has been drawn in the same group as Beau Greaves at the Grand Slam of Darts.
The world No. 1 is gunning for a third successive title, having never lost a match in Wolverhampton, but must play three-times Women's World Matchplay champion Greaves.
Niels Zonneveld is also in Group A, but the Littler-Greaves clash on Saturday is the one with all the excitement.
The pair have never met at a major tournament, but Greaves triumphed in last year's World Youth Championship semifinal.
Littler, who claimed some revenge in a Players Championship floor event in August, is looking to regain his form, having failed to win any of the last three majors after what was previously a perfect start to 2026.

A clean sweep was on the cards after the 19-year-old won the World Championship, World Matchplay, UK Open, Premier League and World Matchplay, but then failed to win at the World Series of Darts, Grand Prix or European Championships.
His last outing also ended in defeat as Fallon Sherrock beat him in a one-off leg of 501 on the Netflix show 'Beat Luke Littler'.
Second seed Luke Humphries is in a group with Joe Cullen and Paolo Nebrida while three-time winner Michael van Gerwen is up against Jeffrey de Graaf and Henry Coates.
Lisa Ashton is competing at the tournament for the sixth time and is in a group with Jermaine Wattimena and Alan Soutar.
