England - and Phillips - can secure passage from the World Cup group stages this evening when they face Wales in Al Rayyan.
The midfielder was a key part of the Three Lions side who reached the final of the European Championships last summer, and will hope to play an equally influential role in the knockout stages should they qualify.
Joining City from fellow Premier League side Leeds United ahead of the 2022/23 campaign, Phillips made his competitive debut for the Club in our 2-0 opening day win over West Ham.

Unfortunately, shoulder surgery ruled the England international out for two months, putting his chances of making Gareth Southgate’s World Cup squad in the balance.
However, after a tireless rehabilitation period, the midfielder was able to make his return to action in our Carabao Cup victory over Chelsea.
An important and reliable asset for Club and country, Phillips is joined by four of his City team-mates in the Three Lions’ squad.
