As platforms go, they won't come much bigger than Stamford Bridge on Sunday for Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu.
The 26-year-old has seen it at all as Luton Town's longest-serving player, from the Conference to the Championship but, after three promotions, he finds himself out of contract this summer.
His immediate focus is to capitalise on Chelsea's fragile confidence and help spring another FA Cup upset but a strong performance against Mason Mount and Co, could have suitors jumping a beat for Luton's metronomic midfielder who has already been linked with Norwich City.
'As a player you want to test yourself against the best and I'm no different,' said a bullish Mpanzu.
