The draw has been completed for the Sixth Round of the 2021 UK Open following the conclusion of Saturday afternoon's play at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes.

After both appearing on stage this afternoon in winning efforts, Grand Slam champion Jose de Sousa will clash with an ominous looking defending champion, Michael van Gerwen who made light work of Mensur Suljovic this afternoon.

Gerwyn Price looked superb similarly against Ricky Evans and his next tie will see him face 'Hollywood' Chris Dobey who ended the run of John Brown earliert his afternoon.

Other top ties include Jonny Clayton who has been going about his business on the Outer Boards despite being seen as one of the favourites and lived up to that moniker with a stunning display to defeat Dirk van Duijvenbode earlier today.

He faces Krzysztof Ratajski in what looks to be a potential game of the round if both players produce like they can.

As does Luke Humphries taking on Martjin Kleermaker. Both players were among the first couple of names through this afternoon with 'Cool Hand' having one less game due to a bye yesterday and he has taken that and utilised it to reach this point.

Devon Petersen is showing good form and he will face Peter Jacques, while James Wade who dispatched Rob Cross has Gabriel Clemens in his sights.

Finally Alan Soutar continued his run and he will face Dave Chisnall for a potential maiden PDC major Quarter-Final in his first TV tournament. While Brendan Dolan and Simon Whitlock finalise the line-up for tonight's action.
