<h2>What are the rules on yellow cards?</h2>
<p>Players who receive five yellow cards in their sides&#8217; first 19 games serve a one-match ban.</p>
<p>The threshold then rises to 10 yellows over the first 32 games which is met with a two-match ban, followed by a final three-match ban for 15 yellows in 38 games.</p>
<p>A suspension for picking up too many bookings must be served in the Premier League &#8211; not the FA Cup or Carabao Cup.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve now hit the 19-game mark, which sees the threshold raised to 10.</p>
