Leeds United’s first play-off match is this weekend.
The biggest game of Leeds United’s season takes place this weekend when they face Derby in the play-offs.
The Whites need a lift, after their Championship campaign ended with a whimper.
Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips picked up a bit of inspiration this week when he attended Anfield, to watch Liverpool’s Champions League semi-final clash with Barcelona.
Liverpool stunned the Spaniards, winning 4-0 and overturning a 3-0 first leg deficit.
He was pictured with teammate Barry Douglas, who is out injured for the play-offs.
Phillips is manager Marcelo Bielsa’s key man and will play an integral role for the Whites.
In viewing ex-Leeds academy star James Milner’s star turn for Liverpool, the effects were two-fold.
Phillips will have picked up a ‘anything is possible’ vibe from the Reds’ performance, ahead of Leeds’ crucial clashes.
The Anfield atmosphere should also inspire him, as he will get a chance to play there with Leeds next season if The Whites are successful in winning promotion.
