Mark Allen – the year’s most in-form player – begins his quest for a second Players Championship title with a clash against 16th seed Joe O'Connor.
Allen sits top of the one-year list after successes at the Northern Ireland Open, the UK Championship and the World Grand Prix.
He won the 2016 title when the event was called the Players Tour Championship Finals and goes for a second title from 19:00.
Ad Ryan Day – winner of the British Open and second on the one-year list – takes on Chris Wakelin in the other match, also starting at 19:00 UK time.
