Manchester United’s start to the season has been far from ideal, while Manchester City have been perfect, but how do their disciplinary records compare to their Premier League rivals?
Erik ten Hag will have been keen to get off to a fast start after a disappointing start to last season, but his side have only repeated last term’s sluggish start, winning twice and losing three times in the Premier League, while they also lost their Champions League opener earlier this week. United are now preparing for a clash with Burnley, and Ten Hag needs a win to avoid early pressure. Meanwhile, City are preparing to face Nottingham Forest as they look to continue their faultless start to the campaign.
In the meantime, we have put together a Premier League fair play table to see where City and United currently rank.
1. Burnley
Yellows - 9. Reds (Straight red) - 2. Points - 19.
2. Nottingham Forest
Yellows - 14. Reds (Straight red) - 1. Points - 19.
3. Fulham
Yellows - 12. Reds (Second yellow) - 2. Points - 18.
4. Sheffield United
Yellows - 15. Reds (Second yellow) - 1. Points - 18.
