Fernandes has become an integral and dynamic presence in West Ham’s midfield since Nuno’s arrival. His early goal against Aston Villa last time out highlighted his threat, and he is often the player arriving to finish cutbacks when West Ham attack on the break.

This season, Fernandes has taken 10 shots across 13 Premier League starts (0.84 per 90) – significantly more than midfield colleagues Freddie Potts (2 shots) and Soungoutou Magassa (3 shots). This indicates he is granted the most attacking freedom in the midfield, particularly when runners like Bowen and Summerville push behind the opposition defense.

Manchester City remain somewhat exposed in transition, especially against the pace and quality of Bowen and Summerville. This could create space for Fernandes to advance into shooting positions - something he has done in three of his last five league appearances. His shooting tendency is further evidenced by last season’s average of 1.29 shots per 90 for Southampton, even in a struggling side.

There is decent value with this selection when backing with Bet365, the same angle is priced as low as 1.44 with other comparable bookmakers.
