Premier League’s dirtiest teams: did Man City have best discipline in 2021/22 season? - Man Utd among worst

The Old Trafford side found themselves at the wrong end of the disciplinary table while Pep Guardiola’s team were more disciplined.

The 2021/22 Premier League season is a distant memory and one that mixed fortunes for the two Manchester clubs.

Pep Guardiola lead City to the league title while United finished a disappointing sixth.

So, how did that impact the number of bookings the two teams picked up?

Football statistics site Transfermarkt have compiled all the yellow and red cards from the 2021/22 Premier League season into a full disciplinary table.

The site uses a points system where straight red cards award the most followed by red cards as a result of a second yellow and then by yellow cards.

In total, 1274 yellow cards and 42 reds were shown by referees in English football’s top flight last season and while Manchester City found themselves at the right end of the table it wasn’t the same story for Manchester United.

Here is how the 2021/22 Premier League disciplinary table looks with the team who have the cleanest record at the top and the dirtiest team on the bottom:

(Where two sides have the same number of points the team with more red cards ranks higher then the team with more straight red cards then, if two sides have identical records, final league position)
