Andrew Taylor calls on Leeds United faithful ahead of U23s' crunch Elland Road clash

Andrew Taylor has called on the Leeds United faithful to get behind the under-23s as they host champions-elect Manchester City at Elland Road on Friday evening. Taylor's side are just outside of the relegation places by four points but Chelsea U23s below them have a game-in-hand.

The Whites youngsters know that they have a battle on their hands with just two games of the season remaining and Chelsea boasting a kinder run in. The under-23s have had to play a large part of the campaign without some of their best players, such as Charlie Cresswell, Joe Gelhardt, Sam Greenwood and Crysencio Summerville, who have been called up to the first-team.

Leeds are hoping they'll be able to break the record for attendance at the game which stands at 17,000 set by Everton in May 2017. As of Friday night, 12,000 tickets had been sold.
