Newcastle United have the second worst record in the Premier League for picking up cards - which might indicate their clumsiness when defending, or might indicate their fighting spirit.
According to figures from fbref.com , Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United have the worst record in the Premier League, having been shown 62 cards this season - 61 yellows and one red.
League leaders Manchester City meanwhile have picked up half that number, with just 31 cards, bettered only by Leicester City on 27 cards.

Any player who picks up 10 yellow cards before the end of the 32nd match will get a two-match ban. Newcastle have played 22 matches, which means players have to be careful to get through 10 more matches.
Injured Isaac Hayden is on five yellows and has already had a one-match suspension, but is no longer in the 25-man squad so is in no danger.
Jamaal Lascelles, Javier Manquillo and Matt Ritchie are all on five, having already served one-match suspensions, and are at the greatest risk over the next ten games.
Joelinton, Allan Saint-Maximin, Jonjo Shelvey and Callum Wilson are all on four.
