"Playing as more of a number 10 has elevated his attacking threat and we saw him create six key passes in the 2-0 win against Manchester City, including four big chances. He's the most prolific creator in the Premier League this season, where he's leading the way among all players for both key passes (62) and big chances created (15). He has nine assists, dominating on set-pieces, including spot-kicks."
"The Gunners have a leading 11 clean sheets this season, including in consecutive games. They won the reverse of this fixture 1-0, but crucially Manchester United have confidence with a new manager bounce, plus an emphatic derby win. In that tougher game, Fernandes notched the two defensive contribution points, which bodes well for his routes to points against Arsenal - he has a higher ceiling than Bryan Mbeumo for example."
Bruno Fernandes returned from a hamstring injury and created goals in consecutive Premier League games against Burnley and Manchester City. He has been used in a more attacking number 10 role, which has increased his attacking contributions and chance creation. Fernandes produced six key passes and four big chances in the 2-0 win over Manchester City and provided an assist. He leads the league for key passes (62) and big chances (15), has nine assists, and controls set-pieces and penalties. Arsenal have 11 clean sheets this season, while Manchester United carry confidence from a new-manager bounce and a derby victory.
