LUKE LITTLER begins the defence of his BetMGM Premier League title in Belfast next month admitting there will be a "target on my back".
As the eight-man cast for this year's Thursday night travelling circus was unveiled with former world champions Michael Smith and Peter Wright dropped from last year's line-up new world champ Littler conceded he was a marked man.
And Luke the Nuke fears there will be more first-night nerves like his close shave against barber Ryan Meikle at the first hurdle of his PDC World Championship triumph.
Littler, 17, hit a ninedarter in the final against Luke Humphries as he lifted his first TV major title at London's The O2 last May.
