Grand Slam and Premier League champ Littler has already qualified for the second round of the Ally Pally spectacle, which carries a £500,000 cash prize.

While Sherrock, whose boyfriend is fellow darts star Cameron Menzies, will initially face Ryan Meikle in the first round.

And the winner of that tie will set up a mouth-watering showdown against seeded Littler, who reached last year’s final on his debut before losing to Luke Humphries.

The defending champ, who also beat Littler in yesterday’s Players Championship final, will come up against either Thibault Tricole or Joe Comito.

But there will be no repeat of Humphries and Littler’s final, with the two men on the same side of the draw and on course to face each other in the semis.

Elsewhere, Michael van Gerwen takes on the winner of James Hurrell vs Jim Long.

While out-of-form Peter Wright faces one of Wesley Plaisier or Ryusei Azemoto.

Meanwhile, Sherrock’s partner Menzies faces a first-round match against Leonard Gates.

And his reward for winning that would be a spicy second-round tie against Nathan Aspinall.

The World Championship starts next month on December 15.

It runs all the way through to January 3, 2025.

Fans reacted with delight to the draw, with one saying: “Potentially Luke Littler v Fallon Sherrock and it could actually break the internet. That is f*****g massive.”

Another declared: “The Sky Sports team must be loving it.”

One noted: “Some exciting matchups brewing Littler vs. Sherrock could steal the show.”

Another added: “How are Littler and Humphries in the same half of the draw?  Bad planning.”

The Ally Pally spectacle is the biggest event on the darts calendar.
