Two yellows is worth three points on the board. A straight red is five points. So, who is the most disciplined team, and who is the least? Let&#8217;s find out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:0\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>The Gunners are one of three Premier League sides this season to have 0 red cards. With remarkable defensive discipline and David Raya winning the Golden Glove once more, Mikel Arteta&#8217;s side have also managed to keep 11-players on the field at all times. They&#8217;ve also had 49 yellows, the least of any side in the division.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:1\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>In joint-second are Arne Slot&#8217;s Redmen. Ten points clear of Arsenal, they are the joint second most disciplined side in the division. They&#8217;ve had 54 yellow cards and one straight red, accumulating a total of 59 points. That red came after a lengthy VAR check in the final moments of the Man City Anfield clash, where Dominik Szoboszlai was judged to have denied Erling Haaland a clear goalscoring opportunity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:2\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:3\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>2*<strong> Leeds United<\/strong> 59 points<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>Not only have Daniel Farke&#8217;s boys comfortably stayed up, they have done it with serious discipline along the way. With 56 yellow cards and only one second yellow for Gabriel Gudmundsson in the goalless draw at Crystal Palace, The Whites are joint 2nd in the table. Farke was sent off himself though in the City home defeat, stating after he&#8217;ll have to stop jogging on the pitch when confronting the referee!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:4\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:5\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>Villa also rank joint 2nd in the table. Exactly like Liverpool, they&#8217;ve had 54 yellows and a straight red. That red came all the way back on the opening day of the season, as Ezri Konsa was given his marching orders after a clear foul on Anthony Gordon in the goalless 0-0 draw v Newcastle United.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:6\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>5* <strong>Manchester City<\/strong> 63 points<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>Here come the second team in the league without a red to their name. City have had 63 yellow cards, though no player has been given their marching orders. Fans were left on the fence after Bernardo Silva lashed out at Nathan Collins only this weekend though, and was only given a yellow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:7\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:8\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>5* <strong>Nottingham Forest<\/strong> 63 points<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>Forest have also accumulated the same points as City. They&#8217;ve had less yellows with 58, but a direct red card after Neco Williams&#8217; challenge late in the first half at home to Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:9\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>Up considerably from 63 points are Keith Andrews&#8217; Bees. Despite 65 yellows and a straight red, the European hopefuls still got the job done on the day they were down to ten. Kevin Schade was sent off for a &#8216;horrific&#8217; kick out at Matty Cash, though Dango Ouattara bagged the only goal of the game just minutes later. The 8th-placed Prem underdogs then held on 1-0 for a priceless three points at fortress Villa Park.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:a\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:b\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>7*<strong> Newcastle United<\/strong> 70 points<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>Eddie Howe&#8217;s Toon Army are on 70 points too. The Magpies have had 59 yellow cards, two yellows turning into a red, and a straight red. Dan Burn, Jacob Ramsey and Anthony Gordon have all been given their marching orders over the campaign. Gordon&#8217;s straight red was the most notable, after an on-field VAR review showed he lashed out at Virgil van Dijk. A 3-2 away win thriller endured, as Rio Ngumoha announced himself to the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:c\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:d\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:e\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:f\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:10\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:11\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:12\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>The first side of the bottom half is the Hammers. The Irons have had 62 yellows, one second yellow, and two straight reds. Jean-Clair Todibo received his marching orders for violent conduct on Chelsea&#8217;s Joao Pedro, whereas Tomas Soucek was sent off for a horror challenge at home to Spurs. The most famous one of the season came when Lucas Paqueta was awarded a second yellow for complaining to the referee in the 2-0 defeat at home to Liverpool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>12. <strong>Crystal Palace<\/strong> 76 points<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>Next up is Oliver Glasner&#8217;s European finalists Palace. The Eagles have been booked 68 times, with one second yellow and one straight red. Maxence Lacroix was given his straight marching orders, whilst conceding a penalty after pulling Matheus Cunha back in the box at Man United in March. Adam Wharton was then brandished a second yellow for a challenge on Moises Caicedo at home to Chelsea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:13\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:14\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>In 13th come Marco Silva&#8217;s mid-table Cottagers. Only receiving one straight red after Joachim Andersen last weekend against Bournemouth, they are no stranger to a yellow, with 73 cards brandished.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:15\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:16\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:17\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>Lastly, the final of the three teams to not have received a single red on the pitch is Brighton. The Seagulls have had 86 bookins, with the only red being gaffer Fabian Hurzeler serving a two-match touchline ban. Brighton&#8217;s discipline during games has helped propel the club up to 7th in the league, with another European adventure nearly on the cards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:18\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:19\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:1a\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:1b\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p> 17* <strong>Bournemouth<\/strong> 93 points<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>Bournemouth have had their fair share of yellows and reds. With 83 yellows brandished, only three clubs have seen more in the league. The Cherries have had two reds too, including Ryan Christie&#8217;s straight red at Fulham last weekend. Thankfully for Andoni Iraola&#8217;s European hopefuls though, Joachim Andersen made it evens only several minutes later, before Brazilian star Rayan secured the three points after half-time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:1c\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:1d\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:1e\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:1f\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p> 19. <strong>Tottenham Hotspur<\/strong> 106 points<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:20\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>The first side with over 100 points on the points table, Spurs have had the most bookings in the league with a massive 88. Cristian Romero shares the title for most yellow cards in the league, racking up a whopping 11. The Argentinian skipper has also had a straight red at Old Trafford, alongside teammates Xavi Simons and Micky van de Ven who were sent off against Liverpool and Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:21\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$--><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-prose  \">\n<p>Well-known for their red cards this campaign, The Blues have had four straight reds, three second yellows and 80 singular yellow cards. Moises Caicedo has been given his straight marching orders, as has Marc Cucurella, Robert Sanchez and Trevoh Chalobah. As for second yellows, the guilty parties include Wesley Fofana, Pedro Neto and Malo Gusto.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:22\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$?--><template id=\"B:23\"\/><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><!--$--><!--\/$--><\/div>\n<p>#Premier #League #fair #play #table #revealed #clubs #red #cards<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One major side sits at the top, whereas another is at the bottom A Premier League &#8216;fair play&#8217; table has been revealed, based on how many cards each team has accumulated this season.
