Premier League Suspensions Tracker: Who’s Out and Who’s on the Edge?
As the 2025/26 Premier League season heats up, so too does the intensity on the pitch. With every point carrying weight in title races, European pushes, and relegation battles, discipline is proving just as crucial as form. Here's a full breakdown of which teams are dealing with suspensions, who's walking the disciplinary tightrope, and which clubs are staying out of trouble.
Wolves: Only One Dismissal So Far
Wolves have had a relatively clean campaign in terms of discipline, with just one red card issued so far. Centre-back Toti Gomes served a one-match ban after being dismissed against Bournemouth, but no other players are currently at risk of suspension.
West Ham United: Soucek’s Costly Red
West Ham saw Tomas Soucek sent off for serious foul play in a tough match against Tottenham. With a three-match ban handed down, he’ll be sidelined until late October, though the rest of the squad remains mostly clear of further disciplinary trouble.
Tottenham: Just a Handful of Yellows
Spurs have managed their aggression well, with no players currently suspended or nearing bans. Richarlison, Romero, and Spence have all picked up some yellows, but no one has crossed the threshold for a warning.

Sunderland: One Red, Few Concerns
Back in the top flight, Sunderland have so far maintained a respectable disciplinary record. Left-back Reinildo received a three-match ban for violent conduct, but other squad members have stayed relatively card-free.
Nottingham Forest: A Clean Start Under Postecoglou
New boss Ange Postecoglou can be thankful for a full squad as he settles in at Forest. Only Neco Williams is flirting with a ban after collecting three yellows, but overall the team has avoided major infractions.
Newcastle United: Gordon’s Reckless Moment
Newcastle have only received one red card this season, but it was a costly one. Anthony Gordon’s serious foul play earned him a three-match suspension, though otherwise the Magpies have managed to control their aggressive style.
Manchester United: Casemiro Sees Red Again
Casemiro's second yellow card against Chelsea saw him sent off in a high-stakes match, continuing his trend of costly bookings. His absence for the following fixture adds more pressure on Ruben Amorim’s already inconsistent side.

Manchester City: Discipline as Impressive as the Squad
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are not just technical masters—they’re disciplined too. With no players suspended or even close to a ban, their focus remains firmly on the title chase.
Liverpool: Mostly Clean, But Ekitike Misses One
Liverpool's only suspension so far came in the cup, with Hugo Ekitike’s dismissal carrying over to the Premier League. Otherwise, a few players have collected two yellows each, but the Reds remain in control of their temper.
Leeds United: No Suspension Risks
Leeds United have kept things tidy on the discipline front. Jayden Bogle has been booked twice, but no players are at immediate risk of a ban—great news for a team finding its rhythm.
Fulham: Lukic Walking a Fine Line
Sasa Lukic is one booking away from suspension after picking up four yellow cards early on. The rest of Fulham’s squad has been fairly composed, though Josh King has also received two bookings.

Everton: Dewsbury-Hall One Booking Away
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is on thin ice with four yellow cards from his first five matches. Tim Iroegbunam isn’t far behind with three, meaning Everton could be forced into midfield changes soon.
Crystal Palace: Hughes Leading in Bookings
Crystal Palace have avoided red cards entirely so far. Will Hughes leads the team in yellow cards with three, while a few teammates have two each—but no suspensions yet.
Chelsea: Two Reds Already This Season
Chelsea have seen both Robert Sanchez and Trevoh Chalobah sent off this season, each receiving a one-match ban for denying goal-scoring opportunities. Both absences proved costly, especially Chalobah’s in a dramatic loss to Brighton.
Burnley: Ugochukwu Sent Off Against Liverpool
Lesley Ugochukwu is the only Burnley player to be dismissed this season, earning a one-match ban for two yellows against Liverpool. The rest of the squad has kept a clean record so far.

Brighton: Plenty of Yellows, No Suspensions Yet
Brighton have seen several players carded, but none have reached suspension territory. Diego Gomez, Lewis Dunk, and Mats Wiefer have each been booked twice, but remain available for selection.
Bournemouth: Adams Racking Up Bookings
Tyler Adams has already received three yellow cards in just five appearances. Bournemouth haven’t seen any reds this season, but Adams is inching closer to a one-match ban.
Aston Villa: Konsa Sent Off, No Yellow Card Trouble
Ezri Konsa was handed a red card for denying a goal-scoring opportunity, but no Aston Villa players are close to a ban from yellow card accumulation. The team’s discipline has otherwise been solid.
Arsenal: Clean Sheet on Discipline
Despite being deep in a title race, Arsenal have shown exemplary discipline. The Gunners have yet to see a single player suspended or even at risk of missing a game due to yellow cards.
