Draw released for Players Championship 27: Price-Van Barneveld and Anderson-Aspinall among top ties

The draw has been released ahead of Players Championship 27 which is due to take place this afternoon in Barnsley. So far this week, Dave Chisnall and Damon Heta have added to their tally of titles so far this season.

Some top ties have been confirmed for the first round which include Gerwyn Price facing Raymond van Barneveld and Gary Anderson taking on Nathan Aspinall.

Anderson topped the averages yesterday and has been in resurgent form over the past few days and will look for another superb run today but starting against 'The Asp' in a difficult test.
