But Lewis and Price will share top billing to settle a feud that has been brewing since last year's Matchplay and has intensified in the last few days.
Price, the former rugby player who is now 27th in the PDC's order of merit, earned a career-best win 12 months ago with a quarter-final win over Lewis.
This year, after winning his first-round match, Lewis said: "I'll tell you one thing, Gerwyn Price had one lucky game last year, and that was against me. I'll turn him over, no problem."
The duo then exchanged fiery social media barbs suggesting Tuesday's tussle could be the match of the tournament so far.
Elsewhere, Van Gerwen finds himself up against Kyle Anderson and 'Snakebite' Wright will play Ian White.
World No 1 Van Gerwen thrashed Jamie Caven 10-0 in the first round and will now seek revenge for his mentor Vincent van der Voort, who was eliminated by Anderson.
Four seeds will collide as No 5 Wright meets the perennial dark horse, White, rated 12th. The night is kicked off by a coin toss of a match as eighth seed Robert Thornton plays ninth seed Dave Chisnall.
Watch the second round of the World Matchplay on Tuesday, 7pm, live on Sky Sports 3 HD.
