Examples of leading a Leeds United team out at Elland Road for a high-pressure game in front of a massive crowd are not too hard to find for Charlie Cresswell. The 19-year-old will be at the head of the side walking out to more than 18,000 fans in a record-breaking night on Friday.
After a 10-day push for support between the first team’s fixture schedule, the United fan base has turned out in force to break the Premier League 2 attendance record. Everton had 17,525 at Goodison Park in 2017, but that number could be dwarfed by the time 7pm arrives tomorrow.
It’s more than a record attempt for the under-23s. Andrew Taylor’s side is fighting for survival in Division One with two matches to play against first-placed Manchester City and third-placed Arsenal.
