Indeed, before Christmas, he was averaging 0.89 non-penalty expected goals per 90 in the 2025-26 Premier League; since, this has dropped to 0.32.

Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández has made more passes that have broken the opposition’s defensive line than any player in the Premier League this season (41). He has also made 36 line-breaking passes into the opposition’s penalty area, a joint-high with Bruno Fernandes.

Bernardo Silva’s next appearance in the Premier League will be his 297th, setting a new record by a Portuguese player in the competition, surpassing Luís Boa Morte’s 296. After netting against West Ham last time out, Silva could score in back-to-back league appearances for Man City for the first time since March 2023.
