Erik ten Hag has finally got his preferred midfield working like clockwork. Christian Eriksen and Casemiro complement each other perfectly in the centre of the pitch while Bruno Fernandes is seen as an undroppable by his new boss.
Eriksen had a 91 per cent pass success rate against FC Sheriff and it’s not the first time he has produced that ratio. Casemiro’s last-gasp equaliser against Chelsea will be etched into fans’ minds but it is his defensive assets that are proving most effective.
Meanwhile, Fernandes - despite his recent unpopularity among some supporters - is one of the most creative players in the Premier League so far this season, rivaling Kevin De Bruyne for the most moves that lead to shots.
