The suspension of these players would force managers to ring the changes, with all three being first-choice options for their clubs.Manchester United concerns: Key midfielder Casemiro and defender Patrick Dorgu are both on a suspension tightrope for Manchester United, with four yellow cards each.



They could miss out against Wolves, if they are booked against West Ham, or Bournemouth, if they survive through to the next game.Liverpool's dynamic duo: Midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai and defender Conor Bradley represent Liverpool's biggest disciplinary concerns, as they have both accumulated four cards. While Szoboszlai has been an ever-present in the side, Bradley has been out with injury, but could return this weekend on that suspension tightrope.Sunderland's central concerns: Granit Xhaka and fellow midfielder Noah Sadiki are both one card away from a ban for Sunderland.

Losing both central figures simultaneously would severely weaken the core of their team's defensive and ball-playing capabilities for the big clash against Newcastle.Brentford's double problem: Brentford could be without both a key defender in Nathan Collins and a significant forward option in Kevin Schade, if they receive a booking next time out. Brentford have Tottenham this weekend, before they take on Leeds in the following match.Brighton's triple midfield threat: Brighton have the most suspension risks, with Carlos Baleba, Diego Gomez, and Mats Wieffer all listed with four yellow cards.
