The draw has been released ahead of the fourth round of the 2021 UK Open which will take place this evening at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes.

After the opening session of action with the first three rounds completed, the top 32 players come into the fray.

These include Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, Peter Wright and Gary Anderson - with the former the reigning champion.

Van Gerwen is set to face former Lakeside World Champion, Scott Mitchell in one of the top ties.

Price will take on Peter Hudson who is one of only a few players to go all the way from the first round today.

'The Iceman' heads into his first ranking major as World Number One and World Champion though battling an ear infection.

Wright will clash with Dave Chisnall in one of the other top ties. While Anderson will have another clash with Dirk van Duijvenbode after prior ties at the World Grand Prix and World Championship.

Joe Cullen will face Michael Smith in a match that will likely grace the Main Stage when the line-up is announced shortly.

James Wade will take on Ryan Joyce as the only ever present left, while Andy Hamilton is set for a tie with World Number Four, Rob Cross who made his name in this tournament.

Nathan Aspinall will defend his winnings from two years ago and has Krzysztof Ratajski to contend with albeit fresh from a superb Super Series at times.

In addition, Alan Soutar who has impressed so much since claiming his Tour Card at both the Super Series and the UK Open so far defeating Raymond van Barneveld and Mickey Mansell today.

With the latter display seeing a 103 average is set to face recent World Championship semi-finalist Stephen Bunting.

Good form has been the name of the game for Mervyn King who reached The Masters final recently after also being denied at the Players Championship Finals. He will face Grand Slam champion, Jose de Sousa.

While Masters champion, Jonny Clayton is set to face Rowby-John Rodriguez to continue his brilliant form which saw 3/4 finals reached at the Super Series with one title win.
