Kalvin Phillips comments on Leeds' relegation battle as he lifts title for Man City

Manchester City star Kalvin Phillips admitted he has still "been keeping an eye" on former club Leeds and remains hopeful they can can preserve their Premier League status amid an ominous relegation battle.

Phillips was part of a Leeds side which won at Brentford on the final day of last season to seal their safety and send Burnley down at their expense. Sam Allardyce's side will need a similar final day miracle this time around, after defeat at West Ham on Sunday left them in the bottom three with 90 minutes of their season remaining.

The England midfielder is no longer part of the squad, having completed a big-money move to Manchester City last summer. He has become a Premier League champion for the first time with his new club, but explained he is still keeping watch on his boyhood side's progress.
