Luke Humphries has admitted he wouldn't have been able to cope with the attention and fame Luke Littler has received at such a young age as the duo prepare to return to the World Darts Championship this week.

Defending champion Luke Humphries and teenage superstar Luke Littler are dominating the headlines going into the World Darts Championship, but who else could be lifting the trophy on 3 January? The bookmakers have the event down as a two-horse race and that is understandable as the two finalists from the last World Championship have excelled all year.

Three-time world champion Michael van Gerwen has dismissed the growing hype around teenage darts sensation Luke Littler, instead backing Luke Humphries as the world's best player.
