Wolverhampton's Wayne Jones will face No 5 seed Gary Anderson in the group stages of the Grand Slam of Darts in his home city this month.

Jones has been drawn in Group C for the opening round of the Grand Slam, which starts on Saturday night at Wolverhampton Civic Hall.

A rematch with Anderson is a repeat of last year's Grand Slam, where they met twice, Anderson winning in the group stages before Jones beat him in the quarter-finals.

Brendan Dolan, who beat Jones in the first round of the World Grand Prix last month, is also in Group C along with Nigel Heydon, winner of the 'Wild Card' qualifiers last weekend.

The £400,000 event will be played from November 12 for eight days, with the top two from each group qualifying for the knockout stages.
