davieG Posted 13 February 2019 Posted 13 February 2019 Leicester City are slowly rising the fair-play table after cutting out red cards. Four early baths in the opening 13 league games of the season – making it nine in 34 matches – saw City’s discipline questioned. After the most recent of those dismissals, for James Maddison at Brighton, manager Claude Puel admitted it was an issue that needed attention and the City needed to "manage better our attitude". It appears those words have been heeded. City have now gone 13 games without a red card in the Premier League – their previous best streak under Puel was eight matches.

In fact, their yellow-card record is reasonably good, with 42 bookings in 26 games the ninth fewest in the division. Liverpool top the fair-play table while Manchester United are at the opposite end of the ladder. The Reds have earned just 21 yellow cards in the Premier League, 12 fewer than their closest competitors Chelsea, while Burnley have the most bookings in the division with a total of 54. London clubs Chelsea and Arsenal boast a record of not having a single player sent off so far in the Premier League this season, while Everton share the record for most early baths this term with Leicester, on four. Southampton, Manchester United, Huddersfield and Brighton are the other clubs to have seen red at least three times this campaign, while none of Liverpool, Tottenham or Fulham have seen a member of their squad issued a straight red card this season You can see the table in full below (one point for a yellow card, three points for second bookable offence, five points for a straight red card).
