Five Liverpool players are one booking away from a one-match suspension as they navigate a crucial festive period in the Premier League.
Liverpool may be four points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand but a number of their players will have to tread carefully during the festive programme. Five Reds are within one booking of having to serve a one-match suspension for accruing five cautions during the first half of the top-flight campaign. Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo both picked up their fourth yellow cards of the Premier League season during the 6-3 win at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon.
Darwin Nunez, Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate have previously reached four bookings, while Alexis Mac Allister has already served a one-match ban for picking up five yellows in the top-flight term. Players who accrue five bookings inside the opening 19 Premier League games are handed a one-match ban. The amnesty then changes to a two-match suspension for reaching 10 bookings after 32 games, and a three-game ban for totalling 15 at any point in the campaign. Liverpool have played 16 Premier League matches so far this season, meaning the quintet have to negotiate another three matches, starting with the home clash against Leicester City on Boxing Day evening. The Reds are then at West Ham United on December 29 before entertaining bitter North West rivals Manchester United the following Sunday. Konate in any case is unlikely to be available for at least the next two games as he continues to recover from the knee injury that has sidelined him since the Champions League win over Real Madrid a month ago. Trent Alexander-Arnold is the next Reds player in danger of a Premier League ban having accrued three bookings so far this campaign
