Manchester City’s 19th game sees them host Tottenham on Thursday evening but with Erling Haaland and Joao Cancelo leading the way on only three bookings, there are no suspension worries for Pep Guardiola. Jeffrey Schlupp and Joel Ward will also have to watch out on Wednesday as the Palace pair are also treading the tightrope. Both Casemiro and Fred have been shown four bookings this season so another caution in midweek would mean that they are suspended for the trip to Arsenal on Sunday. Manchester United’s Brazilian midfielders will have to keep themselves in check at Selhurst Park on Wednesday.

It is key to point out that yellow cards no longer carry across into either of the domestic competitions, although red cards still do. Premier League players are allowed some leeway regarding yellow cards, but repeat offenders run the risk of suspension.Īny player who is shown five yellow cards inside the first 19 league games of the season will serve a one-match ban in the league. How many yellow cards lead to a ban in the Premier League? Here, The Athletic explains the rules around suspension in the Premier League and looks at the players who could still be punished for their ill-discipline.
