Van Gerwen won through against Mensur Suljovic in a phenomenal display this afternoon while for De Sousa, it was a tense tie with Michael Smith.
To begin proceedings on the Main Stage will be Dave Chisnall against Alan Soutar. Following that will be tantalising tungsten tussle between Jonny Clayton and Krzysztof Ratajski.
This is then followed by World Champion and World Number One, Gerwyn Price facing Chris Dobey before Van Gerwen and De Sousa take to the oche.
On Stage Two, it begins with a potentially quality battle between Luke Humphries and Martijn Kleermaker.
Devon Petersen follows against Peter Jacques before Brendan Dolan takes on Simon Whitlock. The headline match on that stage will be Gabriel Clemens facing James Wade.
The eight winners of Saturday evening will return on Sunday afternoon for the four quarter-finals. The semi-finals and the final are scheduled for Sunday evening.
