Dave Chisnall will meet either Ricky Evans or Gordon Mathers in round two of the PDC’s Paddy Power World Darts Championship following Monday’s draw.

Chisnall is seeded sixth at Alexandra Palace and is one of the top 32 players from the PDC Order of Merit who are seeded through to round two.

Evans, one of the ProTour Order of Merit qualifiers, has never gone beyond the last 32 though he did reach the UK Open final four earlier this year.

Mathers, from Brisbane, is one of the international qualifiers and will be making his fourth appearance in the event.

This year’s event gets underway on December 15 and runs until January 3, albeit with a rest period from Christmas Eve-Boxing Day and no action on New Year’s Eve.
