De Bruyne was rested for Man City in the FA Cup semi-final and should be fresh for Friday night’s clash with Wolves. Since returning to the starting lineup in Gameweek 31, only Bruno Fernandes, Salah (12 each), and Enzo Fernández (13) have attempted more assists than his 10.
As shown in the below image from ourOpta Stats Sandbox, Tielemans and J. Murphy (four each) are the only midfielders to have created more 'big chances' than his three. He has also landed six attempts on target with only Trossard (seven) faring better.
