Leeds United have confirmed that 10,000 tickets have now been sold for the under-23s' clash with Manchester City at Elland Road on Friday, April 22. The young Whites have been in excellent form of late, being Manchester United, Liverpool and Crystal Palace on home soil, where in excess of 9,000 supporters were there to watch.
It is terrific support for an U23s game and the record for an attendance at the level could be broken if sales keep rising by the day, with the current feat standing at 16,935, with Everton currently holding that record. Despite their up-turn in form, the Whites are four points above the drop zone from Division One and need crucial points from their final three matches to stay up.
Next is a trip to Brighton & Hove Albion on Friday before the City game one week later and a finale at Arsenal on April 29, the night before the first team host Pep Guardiola’s side. It is poised to be a busy few weeks for Andrew Taylor's side as they try and stay in the top division.
