Jesse Marsch believes an emotional first return to Elland Road for Kalvin Phillips could bring out the best in the former Leeds midfielder.
Phillips' place in Manchester City's squad for Wednesday's Premier League clash is in doubt after Pep Guardiola revealed last week that he had returned overweight from World Cup duty.
But Marsch feels the 27-year-old would be inspired by an appearance back at his boyhood club following his £45million summer transfer.
'Clearly he will have a strong attachment to the fans, his family being here,' Marsch said.
