How Leeds United's record looks with and without Kalvin Phillips
Kalvin Phillips is available for selection for Leeds United's Premier League game against Southampton.
With energy, passion, and a long-held love for the Whites, Phillips became the beating heart of Leeds United over the course of the past few seasons.
Since Marcelo Bielsa remodelled him as a holding midfielder, Phillips' impressive performances played a central role in securing the Championship title and earned him a spot in Gareth Southgate's England side where he paired up with Declan Rice to emerge as one of the star performers of the Three Lions' successful Euro 2020 tournament.
With a finalists medal around his neck and a storming maiden Premier League season behind him, Phillips kicked off this season with a spring in his step before injuring his hamstring during the Whites' 2-2 draw with Brentford in December. The 26-year-old has since sat out of a whopping 14 Premier League fixtures.
In his absence, United have struggled defensively, with the great number of goals hitting Illan Meslier's net a significant factor in the sacking of Bielsa. Leeds haven't kept a clean sheet since their number 23 has been sidelined, shipping an eye-watering 45 goals along the way.
As Phillips prepares for the opportunity to feature against Southampton this weekend, we take a look at how Leeds have fared both with and without him in the starting line up across the eight seasons in which he has featured for the senior team.....
