Leeds United's suspension scenario as Jesse Marsch's side sit bottom of fair play table

Leeds United have had to get used to key players being unavailable through injury for large chunks of the season this term and with yellow cards mounting up in the squad, they can ill-afford to miss players through suspension. A consistent flow of bookings mean that Jesse Marsch's side currently sit bottom of the Premier League fair play table.

The Whites have picked up considerably more yellow cards than any other side (84), with Newcastle United and Aston Villa also inside the bottom three based on the league's point calculations. A yellow card counts as one point, a yellow-red card three points and a red card five points.

Having also received one red card and one yellow-red card, Leeds have accumulated 89 points, which is already 33 more than they got throughout the whole of last season. Meanwhile, Liverpool, Manchester City and West Ham United have the best discipline record.
