Assist from defense Nunes assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus Liverpool.

He would also earn an assist, finding Erling Haaland in the 29th minute for the opener. This is his first assist of the season, now with two goal contributions in nine league appearances.

Man City have no chance of winning the Premier League if they remain dangerously reliant on Erling Haaland - but can anyone else step up and carry the burden?

Continues at right-back Nunes recorded one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Nunes would work his way into a starting role once again Sunday, a fourth straight start for the midfielder, all of which coming at right-back. His performance was decent, notching a shot and a cross in the attack to go along with one clearance, two tackles won and four interceptions in the defense. It seems to be his role to lose for now, although Abdukodir Khusanov (foot) could change that narrative once he returns.

Impact Nunes saw a position change this season, with the once Portuguese midfielder shifting to the defense to serve at right-back around halfway through the season, sharing time with Rico Lewis after Kyle Walker joined AC Milan on loan. He would develop into a solid player in this role, as his attacking ability was well utilized in Pep Guardiola's system, getting up the field to join the attack, earning four of his seven goal contributions after moving to the defense. It is up in the air if he will maintain this role next season, if the club will make a new true right-back, or if Rico Lewis will take on a bigger role, leaving the newly developed defender's role in limbo for the time being.
