Crystal Palace midfielder tops unwanted table ahead of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur stars

Crystal Palace captain Luka Milivojevic has been named the most ill-disciplined player in the Premier League since 2017 according to new research, with three of his team-mates making the top 10.

The Eagles midfielder joined the club in 2017 and has established himself at the heart of the team with robust tackles and a number of crucial goals from both open play and the penalty spot.

With just over six months left on his current deal, the former Serbia international is not afraid to get stuck in and has a habit of picking up bookings during the course of a season.

Because of this, Milovjevic has topped a list of the most ill-disciplined players by Casumo since arriving in England's top-flight. In the space of five years, the midfielder has committed 217 fouls and picked up 39 yellow cards. He also has one red card to his name, giving him a total score of 257.

Second on the list is team-mate Jordan Ayew, with a score of 254. The forward has given away more fouls - 236 - but managed to only be shown 17 yellow cards in the same space of time. Ayew also has one red card in that time frame.

The Palace duo are ahead of Leicester City's Wilfried Ndidi, Arsenal's Granit Xhaka, who is the only player in the top 10 to have committed more fouls than Milivojevic with 47, and recently relegated Burnley star Ashley Barnes.

Two more Palace players make up the top ten, Wilfried Zaha's 28 yellow cards, one red and 206 fouls putting him in sixth place while James McArthur is eighth with 25 yellows, zero red cards and 195 fouls.
