Three players from Liverpool are precariously positioned regarding disciplinary actions prior to their upcoming match against West Ham.
Darwin Nunez, Ryan Gravenberch, and Cody Gakpo have each accumulated four yellow cards to date.
Should any of these players receive a fifth yellow card during Liverpool match against the Hammers, they will incur an automatic one-match suspension.
In accordance with Premier League regulations, players who amass five yellow cards within the first 19 matches will face a suspension.
Consequently, this group must maneuver through their encounter with Julen Lopetegui’s team without receiving a caution, as well as in their subsequent match against Manchester United.
The January fixture against the Red Devils will mark Arne Slot’s 19th Premier League match at the helm.
Ibrahima Konate has also garnered four yellow cards this season but is expected to miss Sunday’s match due to injury.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is similarly at risk of suspension if he receives a caution in each of the next two fixtures. The out-of-contract player currently has three yellow cards to his name.
