LUTON, England (Reuters) - Midfielder Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu is poised to write history on Saturday at Wembley Stadium as part of Luton Town's fantastical story about defying the odds.

If the Hatters achieve Premier League promotion with a victory over Coventry City in the Championship Playoff Final, Mpanzu will become the first player to go from non-league football to the top flight with the same team.
