In terms of Fernandes’s assists, he continues to close on the all-time Premier League record.
The excellent cross for Casemiro’s goal made it 17 in the division for the Portugal international and he didn’t register his first this term in the league until 19 October, when setting up Harry Maguire’s winner at Liverpool.
He needs five more in the remaining seven games to break the record, which is jointly held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
As he scored one of his three United goals from outfield play this term against Chelsea in the reverse fixture, let’s hope he can come up trumps again in west London this weekend and inspire the Reds to victory.
