Kevin De Bruyne has though. The City playmaker is closing in on the record for most Premier League assists in a single season with just one more needed against Norwich this weekend to equal Thierry Henry's outrageous figure from 2003.

Plenty of attention will be on the developing Premier League top scorers situation, but the Belgian superstar is engaged in his own battle.

De Bruyne is currently tied with the best season from another current Premier League ace after racking up a stunning total of 19 assists, but he will be determined to claw his way to the record.

His team-mates will be more than happy to sit in front of De Bruyne if he is willing to play balls through regularly.
