Watford 2 Leeds United 2 recap
Key Events
- 8pm kick-off at Vicarage Road
- Chance to move three points ahead of Leicester
- Three changes. Key men missing
- Young Charlie Crew on bench
So three changes for Leeds
Byram, Cooper and James in for Firpo, Gruev and Gnonto - Ampadu moving into midfield. Huge night for Charlie Crew who makes the bench. Big one for Liam Cooper too, essentially preferred to Charlie Cresswell who stays on the bench.
Charlie Crew
17-year-old midfielder, Wales youth international, has been excelling for Leeds 18s and then 21s for some time now. Looks a cultured player. Has a fine pass on him and good vision/reading of the game. Skilful. Already has three caps for Wales under-21s, at 17 years of age. Hard to know what his best position will be, possibly a no 8 but also a CDM.
Warm ups
Underway here at Vicarage Road, not the warmest night, a strong Leeds team, despite the absentees, should be more than good enough to get the job done here.
Bright start by Watford
2: Zipping a few passes together, Rodon carries the ball out for a throw, away end in fine voice
