Since his move from Sporting Lisbon back in January 2020, Fernandes has already won the Player of the Month prize on four occasions, all of them coming in the same calendar year which no player had ever achieved before.
While two of those gongs were claimed at the back end of last season, he has already won it in November and December of this campaign, and now has the chance to add a fifth to his cabinet, a feat which only five players - including former Reds Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney - have previously managed.
