Luke Littler faces Ryan Meikle in the second round of the PDC World Darts Championship
After much anticipation, all the chatter, and the build-up, Luke Littler is back on the Ally Pally stage - but this time, things are different. Now a household name, expectations are soaring for the teenage sensation a year after his breakthrough. The 17-year-old begins his World Darts Championship campaign against Ryan Meikle, having received a bye into the second round. Already in December, 'The Nuke' has bagged the BBC's Young Sports Personality of the Year award.
Sky customers can also watch via the Sky Go app. As for the odds, bookmakers have pegged 'The Nuke' as the favourite to win the tournament, with odds around 2/1 on most sites. He's followed by Luke Humphries , Gary Anderson and Michael van Gerwen . It's no surprise then that Littler is a short 1/25 to beat Meikle, who would cause one of the biggest upsets in darts history if he manages to defeat his superstar opponent. You can back the underdog at roughly 9/1.
