Most Premier League assists in a single season: Bruno Fernandes chasing EPL record

De Bruyne's 20 in 2019/20 was his best single-season return at City, after making 18 assists in 2016/17, and 16 in 2017/18.

Former Arsenal star Mesut Ozil in third place in the one-season list, with 19 assists in 2015/16.

Ozil's haul is followed by former Chelsea duo Frank Lampard and**Cesc Fabregas**, who matched De Bruyne by recording 18 in a season.

Most Premier League assists in a single season

Can Bruno Fernandes break single-season assist record?

As of April 19, Fernandes has 18 assists in 30 appearances this season, eight more than nearest rival Rayan Cherki.

His last game saw him produce a precise low cross for Matheus Cunha to score the only goal in United's 1-0 win at Chelsea.

At his current rate, the Man United captain is on course to register between 20 and 21 assists for 2025/26, which would give him the outright single-season record.

Most assists all-time in Premier League history

De Bruyne broke the 100 Premier League assist mark in 2022/23, becoming only the fifth player to register over a century of assists in Premier League history, alongside Ryan Giggs, Fabregas, Wayne Rooney and Lampard.

Most assists in a Premier League match

The most assists by one player in a single Premier League match is four (4). Seven players have managed it, and four of them played for Arsenal at the time.

The first player to achieve the feat was Dennis Bergkamp, who provided four assists in the Gunners' 5-0 win over Leicester City in February 1999.

The trick was not repeated until 2006, by Bergkamp's teammate Jose Antonio Reyes in Arsenal's 7-0 thrashing of Middlesbrough, as Henry scored a hat-trick, to equal Cliff Bastin's record of 150 league goals for the Gunners.

Cesc Fabregas racked up four assists for Arsene Wenger's side, as they beat Blackburn Rovers 6-2 in October 2009.

Three years later, former Gunner Emmanuel Adebayor set up four goals in an amazing first half, as Tottenham cruised to a 5-0 win over Newcastle.

Arsenal were the common theme again in the record books, as Santi Cazorla laid on four goals in 2010, as the Gunners beat Wigan Athletic 4-1.

It would be another seven years until Harry Kane set up four goals for Son Heung-min, as Tottenham hammered Southampton 5-2. Then, in August 2021, Paul Pogba became the first non-Spurs or Arsenal player to make four assists in a game in Manchester United's 5-1 demolition of Leeds United.
