Alternative Premier League table has Liverpool top and Manchester United bottom

The Premier League Fair Play table is out and according to the official statistics from the FA, Liverpool are top of the table.

Liverpool and Manchester City are predictably sitting top with near perfect disciplinary records - the Reds with not a single immediate sending off all campaign and City with just under 40 yellows.

Each yellow card is worth four points, with a second yellow worth ten points along with denial of a goal scoring opportunity. Violent conduct, serious foul play, spitting, or offensive and abusive language is worth 12 points.

Only Chelsea can boast of not having a single player sent off all season, immediate or otherwise, while the team who can be proud of the least bookings all season is current league leaders Liverpool - with just 42 all campaign.

Manchester United have managed to accumulate 77 cautions and five sending offs to take bottom place ahead of Watford and Southampton.

Here is the fair play table from the official FA stats in all first team competitive matches.
