On Sunday, Chelsea is set to be
hosted by Tottenham at the Wembley Stadium and with a capacity of 90,000; the
spurs are expected to break the record for the highest attendance for a single match
in the English Premier League.
The White Hart Lane used by the
North London Club is under construction (to expand the seat capacity of the
stadium) and have been granted permission to play up to 27 matches in the
Wembley Stadium this season (2017/2018).
This weekend, they could surpass
the record set by Manchester United in 2007 for highest attendance in a single
match in the English Premier League.
But what are the other clubs that
make up the top ten of the highest record attendance in the EPL?
