Kevin de Bruyne has the opportunity to make history on the last day of the Premier League season. The talented Belgian footballer could become the player with the most amount of assists in a Premier League season.
Man City will end the 2019/20 Premier League season on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium with a clash against Norwich City, the bottom placed team in the competition. There is nothing riding on that game.
However, there are still individual awards to play for. A Man City player could have the opportunity to write his name in Premier League history.
And the thing is Kevin de Bruyne, one of the best footballers for Man City, is a step away from achieving the record number of assists in a current season in the Premier League.
Up to now, the Belgian international, according to ProFootballDB data, has 20 passes which means he is level with Thierry Henry.
The former French player managed to achieve this spectacular figure when he was at Arsenal back in 2002-03. Funnily enough, Arsenal were not champions that year. That is the same as Man City this term.
De Bruyne has gone past Fabregas' 17 assists for Arsenal in the 2007-08 season and Frank Lampard's 18 for Chelsea in 2004-05 on the way to getting 20.
Therefore, the City player has a brilliant opportunity to come top of the Premier League assists charts. However, that depends on Guardiola risking him and whether to give him minutes ahead of the Champions League which is just around the corner. He may well reconsider given what happened to Mbappe on Friday.
